Post your PSIMET wheel photos.
Looking at getting new wheels and would like to see some PSIMETs on bikes. Thanks.

It was a joke. I don't like the beehive hubs either and I thought it was silly that people were telling you to pedal more just to avoid hearing the buzz. sometimes my sarcasm doesn't translate despite the wink smilie. 
If I could buy you a set of wheels it would be Neuvations. In fact I'm driving through San Luis Obispo on vacation in the morning and picking up the new set I ordered last week. Saved me $35 in shipping. Now my wife and kids have to put up with the box in the car for the next week. ha ha.
From what I hear they're nice and quiet.

Sent in my PT hub and a front DTSwiss 240 front hub and these 2 tubular wheels came back. Very satisfied so far.

The way I can identify these are PSIMET, are the extraordinary amount of spokes used to lace it up.
Nice looking rig...
BTW...wasn't there a sticky and another thread on this subject a month ago?

I went away for a while, came back, and the sticky was gone. Now it's in a subforum I didn't know existed, called Advertise Your Services. Odd, considering I wasn't advertising any services.
It's complicated.

I went with the Neuvations because shaving off 7-10 ounces wasn't worth the added cost. Even on 25-30 mile rides I carry 2 bottles of liquid so I can't justify the fact that I carry an extra pound or so of water.

There was a thread. It was jettisoned. I started another thread. The first thread came back and the two threads were merged. Then Tom made them a sticky.

Yes, that is too confusing. Why is the Soul Wheel thread allowed to be around then and never have that happened? Odd for sure.

I'm real happy with my Psimet budget wheelset--Novatech hubs, Kinlin rims and I forget the brand of spokes at the moment. Always true; always really sharp looking on my Klein; LOUD freewheel, which I've grown to love. My daughter really wants a pair (actually, she really wants my bike). Her 21st birthday is coming up in August and if she puts enough miles on her road bike this summer, I'm going to get her a pair of Psimets like mine for her birthday.

I think we need a lawyer to help us sort these complications out!
