What do you think about black inc 48/58 rims?

[Mocs123]

They certainly look like a great wheel options and crazy lightweight. I wonder if they're made by Farsports, while they don't look identical to any of the Farsports offerings, they certainly look like they could be a custom version of their Hyper lineup.

Is the Black Inc with hooks or hookless?

they are calling them Mini Hooked Rims.

What does this mean technically? Can you ride them with normal clincher tires or do you need special tires for the usage at hookless rims with the same rstrictions in pressure?

For me the main question is do the mini hooks retain the tyre on the rim as well as normal 'large' hooks in the event of a blowout/puncture. Does this get tested?

Not really sure what mini hooks mean or the cost difference vs regular hooked wheels but maybe this is an in between solution to save money while also saving themselves from having to develop a new rim if hookless gets banned by the UCI?

Well I was told they would ship 3/15. No notice but they showed up at my front door today!

XDR Setup puts them over 1300g I guess? They look amazing. Not sure where this mini hook is though?

Mine are coming attached to an Ostro in about a month. The 1270 gram weight quoted for the wheels is for Shimano HG. I'll weight mine (Shimano) and post it here.

Generally the XDR body is the lighter of the two.

I have a set of these 48/58 on order that are suppose to ship out 3/15. I have not seen any real reviews or user feedback anywhere. I will let you all know!

Thank you, I would especially like to know how it works when climbing.

Easiest RIM to mount a Conti race tire to that I have owned. Did not spend all morning fighting with it!

Does anyone know the POE for the rear hub? I searched online but could not find any information regarding points of engagement.
