...round spokes.
The available photos clearly show flat spokes.

First they launch an ultra expensive Hyperon Ultra and now the regular Hyperon is placed in the market as a wheelset to save you £850.
At £2,299.99 / $2,790 / €2,690. this is still very expensive.

Yes, I noticed the same. Seems to be an error in the specs or they have published the wrong images.

After riding 3 months ( 2800KM) with my new Wto 45 rim I was so convinced to get a pair for my new disc brake bike (with discount black friday) but learning about the 105 rule....
Was planning to put 28 mm gp 5000 with latex on them , but 28 mmm breaks completly the 105 rule :(

^ Look, the WTOs (and most other Campy wheels it seems) are not designed for 28mm wide tyres at all.

They seem to be pure racing wheels for smooth European roads and 25mm wide tyres only (I use them in the UK on not so smooth roads and I am ok with comfort 85psi).

There are plenty of other wheel options out there for 28mm wide tyres. imo better suited.

I use 28mm Veloflex Corsa Evo TLR tires on my Campagnolo Bora WTO 45 wheels. Inflated to 80-85 psi.

It's all downhill from here, except for the uphills.

Can they just do an updated Zonda disc with 19 or 20mm internal?
That would be perfect. I have Zondas and really feel the reduced comfort and handling over a 21mm internal width rim I had before.

Recently aquired Boras WTO 45 and at 19mm internal there is a very big difference already. For comfort, not cornering feel though - I found a 28mm Corsa makes the Zondas C17 feel similar to the wider rim at 21mm internal.

I have a lot of black dust on the caliper with my WTO, the noise is also pretty loud, only 200km with it but very hilly:

Normal ?
What brakes is it? It seems that it could help me with small clearance above tire to brake caliper...
