Any experiences building and riding these rims from the Bike Hub Store?

Read about there hub here but couldn't find any info on the rims in the forum.

The BHS C472w is a relabeled Kinlin XC279, which was included in the Fairwheel Bikes 2013 Rim Roundup (https://fairwheelbikes.com/cycling-blog/products/2013-rim-roundup.html).

I have a pair of the C472w, although I haven't built them up yet. From initial inspection, they appear to be of the same quality level as other Kinlin rims.

I too am curious. I have been very happy with my XR270s on several builds.

I had my shop build up one to a Zipp hub, no complaints. I built the front, also no complaints.
