Sub $600 50mm Carbon Clincher (from China)
Found the below while researching wheels. Sounds to good to be true so thought I'd ask if anyone's come across them/used them.

Good call VA, found extensive threads: https://forums.roadbikereview.com/bik...-a-241785.html
I'll have to spend some time reading up on them.

I wonder if they'll make Firecrest shaped clones one of these days.

Those are good guts for the 60mm @ $640.:
Novatec Hubs + Sapim CX- RAY spokes + Sapim nipples. 60mm clincher - 1600g/pair
What's questionable after that is the rim itself.
I'd expect they'd need to be checked by your LBS just to make sure there isn't anything wrong
with them so possibly count on paying them a little something on top of the purchase price.
For about $200., you could get a set you could trust a lot more from a local builder (November).
I'd definitely trust their wheelsets while descending at 40+ mph. Just tossing that out there.
