Mine are still chugging along nicely. I actually prefer these wheels over my Hunt's in terms of comfort. They have picked up some galvanic corrosion on the spoke nipples but that's my fault mostly.

How noisy is the freehub compared to your Hunt's? My Hunts are obnoxiously loud, I would never have bought them if I'd realised just how loud they were! 😖
Spinnaroonie Posted January 7 Posted January 7 @NC_lurker unfortunately for your sake, they're equally loud.
milky4130 Posted January 7 Posted January 7 Does anyone know if the returning of an incorrect item ordered has a time limit?
Stall_Gear Posted January 7 Posted January 7 5 hours ago, Stall_Gear said: I have 2 sitting with GFS at the moment... one out for delivery, and one "we are trying to deliver your package", which is short for we will get there when we get there which appears to precede the out for delivery on the GFS tracking (You can't rely on Temu's out for delivery, as that could be any time in the next 7 days according to them) Will update if it ever arrives. Update - the one marked for delivery (23H40 last night) arrived this afternoon, so lets see if the other is on its way soon. (I'm in KZN, so may be slightly better that JHB or CT?)

I just got mine. If you are patient you can get it for about R400 less. Haven’t tried it yet, so can’t say how comfy it is.
