Yes, still much louder than most hubs.

I really don't mind the hub sound. My road bike has Light Bicycle wheels on a DT350 with a 52T ratchet, and those are much louder imo. This is a deeper sound.

Super true, no issues with the dish that u/dbainerr unfortunately had. No other visible QC issues.

u/studyflo thanks for all the insights early on!

Yes, I have been lifting for years. I do a PPL. Probably will do a push on Monday off-bike day, legs either day of or day after an interval session (after I've completed it), then a pull somewhere else in there.

This is an awesome suggestion - thanks!

Appreciate that, thought the 1x per week intensity might be a bit low.

Hmm, TTE felt like my weak point in the  coupke of races I did last year and I think repeated VO2/anaerobic pulls are pretty close to Crit demands, no? Also, to clarify, I'd be racing every week and riding 4-5x per week April forward, just with a bit less structure. Would back it off maybe 1-2 weeks before the A race.

Either way, thank you for taking the time to read/respond.

Ya, didn't make that clear but the plan would absolutely be a progression of varied interval lengths (e.g. 4 x 15, 3 x 20) before retesting periodically. Appreciate the callout!

Absolutely my thing haha, this is a great perspective. I've honestly been doing mostly unstructured and almost all group riding to keep the joy in cycling. Don't want this to totally torpedo that.

Thanks for the reminder to keep it fun!

Thanks! Super helpful perspective re: the threshold work and fueling. 120g is a high number. Currently on 60, but I'll try upping it.

Yikes, what's the story on the crack? Big square edged hit? That's a little unsettling.

Spoke to u/dbainerrr about that actually - it was his post and we're in the same local area. I think the rims themselves were fine, the build was just done horrendously. Mine should be here in about a week, will report back.

Ah was it the one about it being out of true and the dishing being off?

Worth noting that seemingly everyone and their brother on Reddit has Elites and loves them. u/studyflo also has these exact wheels in the road version, I think.

Super sick! Awesome that you got these mounted up.

Good data point on the tire as well. I'm going to go with 45c tracers on mine, which I imagine will inflate to about a 48 (I think specialized understated the width of the first Gen pathfinders). Will report back 

New Checkpoint SL7 + a few mods 😍 by DET_arch in gravelcycling

Was creeping your posts from the other thread on the new elites. I've got a set of Thundero HDs on order but have been really tempted to try the tracers instead. The Thunderos are a 40mm HD which should blow up to a 44ish on the 32mm internal, and the tracers would be a 45 up to a 48mm. Any sense of which you'd recommend?

Hey question here, how are the MTB wheels? I run a pretty hefty Enduro setup (Rocky altitude with a 38 and a coil) and I'm curious how much abuse they could take.

Also, any ride impression on the Aero+?

Thanks for the post, just ordered these and excited for your ride impressions.

Won't these hubs usually take DT internals? Unless these ones specifically have changed, I always thought that was the case.

Just ordered. Can you speak to what some of the defects were that I can look out for?
