Reynolds BLACKLABEL 46 PRO (2023)

[okx]

I'm curious if anyone had a chance to test/ride new/updated version of Reynolds BLACKLABEL 46 PRO wheels?

Looks quite good as all-round wheels.
Depth 46mm
Internal 21mm
External 31mm
Hooked rim profile
1397g

I'm on the last version. Really good in crosswinds. Highly underrated. Can only think they've improved on what I have...

46mm is just shy of the aero sweetspot these days with wider tires, so any wheels of that depth should be light. 1397g doesn’t cut it. My Light Bicycle WR50s are 50mm deep, 32mm wide (25mm hooked internal), weigh 1359g and cost about $1200.

Any thoughts on carbon spoked wheelsets if you run them? Coincidentally I saw that LB weren't offering any of the carbon spoked builds with a WR rim.

Speaking of carbon spokes, it deserves its own thread to learn how it is made, the material science and the risk associated with the production method / structure. After that it would be a much more educated purchase to reduce surprise.

Btw, with the stability of the rim design, the 60 would be a much more interesting product.

Anyone got these wheels?

I have them on my new Super Six Evo. No complaints, running GP 5000 in 28c and set up tubeless.

This is why I bought them. I ride long and low and every bike I have owned has been tough to deal with in crosswinds when I'm going downhill fast. My System Six with the knot 64s in particular was downright dangerous for me.
