those rims look a lot like Kirk Pacenti's SL23s.

Except they're now 25mm wide

Should be VERY interesting for cx and randos

my sl23's measure 24mm in width. no doubt the Heds will rock. I've got an older set of ardennes that have been bullet proof.

Those wheels look great for cross. I do hope they "upgrade" to a steel freehub body.

Stan Alpha 340. Just as good. Lighter and $cheaper :) !!

Agreed. The plus width rim will be awesome for wide rubber.

I wonder if it will cause clearance problems on some modern race bikes.

Not as stiff or as durable.
