They are amazing and super light, very stiff as well, a little bit less than a kg for the pair.
But at the same time I suggest to use them only if you have a lightweight body, I'm 53kg, so no problems at all.

Why only if you're light weight?
Not Squicchi, but Corima puts a weight limit on their wheels of 100kg for the rider + the bike. So if you're ~83kg and are riding a ~6-7kg bike, you're at 9/10 of the limit. Often times a rider at close to the limit for a pair of wheels will find them to be insufficiently stiff. I don't know if that's specifically true for Corima, but I'd guess that's what he's referring to.wheelsONfire wrote: ↑Fri Apr 10, 2020 11:10 pmWhy only if you're light weight?
I'm + 30Kg from you
Kazyole what you say it's correct.......but if you imagine being 83kg + 7 the bike, using these wheels and while riding you get a road pothole......so....by bye Corima wheels.Kazyole wrote: ↑Sat Apr 11, 2020 5:02 pmNot Squicchi, but Corima puts a weight limit on their wheels of 100kg for the rider + the bike.

How do you like the Schmolke rims? I'm half considering eventually trying to build up a set of stupid tubs with AX Lightness 25Ts, berd spokes, and Extralite hubs. Would come out under 700g. I've never really ridden tubs but considering it as a project/experiment for next year. At which point I might lose the AX clinchers I currently have for TLO 45s. Assuming I decide i can justify two sets of wheels.wheelsONfire wrote: ↑Sat Apr 11, 2020 9:43 pmIf you are seated and run into a pothole, curb or anything like that, you'd probably damage every carbon rim.
That's why you bunny hop over these things.
On one of my routes there's cut out sections in the tarmac (about 7 of them). It's a fairly aggressive cut about 3cm with a sharp edge.
I never stop for these, i always jump over them. Usually same for curbs.
I think this all began when i started to ride gravel. Alot of shit to jump over...
I doubt Corima wheels would impose any problems for me.
I have read that some guys find the carbon spoked Corima wheels stiff to a point it affect the ride feel negatively, that's why i asked.
I remember my former CCU, they felt extremely responsive and stiff. To a point it was too much.
But back then i was 63Kgs and also rode Scott Foil gen 1.
The MCC certainly look very good, it would be interesting to try them.
I had in mind buying them, but i backed out and ordered the alu spoked version.
When the dealer got them, they proved to be rather heavy, about 1530-1550g (clincher), so i pulled out and ordered a custom made set instead.
Schmolke TLO 45, CX ray and Carbon Ti hubs. 1253g with rim tape.
That's the clincher version. Otherwise i also have a set of Ax wheels at 1010 grams.
If you decide to build that pair of dream wheels, do use the extralite HyperRear mtb hubs for the rear wheel, the road version has a big difference between drive/NDS distance to centre which is not ideal. But using Berd spokes is the way to go for light builds imo, ti spokes fatigue and broke on me after merely 2.5k km.Kazyole wrote:How do you like the Schmolke rims?

A couple things:Mep wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2020 2:01 pmWhy do you feel that living in an apartment rules out tubulars? I live in a one bedroom and have 3 bikes on tubulars. It's just additional set up time, but with 3 bikes I always have one ready to go. Sealant has always worked for me when I run into flats, and if that fails there's always Uber.
Yeah, "I've always done it this way" is hardly the strongest of reasons. And it seems to me that my concerns about tubs for daily riding are largely overblown. Now I'm in a pickle though, because I already have a set of very nice clinchers at around where I'd like to be in terms of rim depth. If I'm going to have a pair of tubs, it would stand to reason that I'd want them to be as light as possible. If I'm going to have a pair of each, it would make sense to have some variation in rim depth. Deeper clinchers for lower rolling resistance/greater overall speed, and lightweight tubs for climbing.Mep wrote: ↑Fri Apr 17, 2020 2:08 amMakes sense, the first reason isn't really a strong one but it sounds like you already came round to that. Lack of space is trickier, what I do is have a corner for the trainer and that's where my wheels/bike stuff go. Carbon wheelsets make good art pieces on a blank wall! Best of luck with your decision. Can't go too wrong with this bike.
