Being that many of the wheel deals are gone, i can’t help but recognize you can get most of the carbon rims for $55-$65 each with free shipping. The 15% coupon also works on those prices.

If only my Euro source for cheap DT hubs didn’t dry up….

Yeah, I am looking at those too. I wish there was ANY information available like width, weight, and ERD

Anyone else thinking of getting the rims for a build?

Anyone else had some of these wheels delivered yet?

They seem to have some pretty good prices on other items as well. Anyone order anything else? Have race face Chester pedals for $26. Too bad I just ordered some cheap ones on Amazon to try out for the same price.

I bought a whisky carbon 20mm offset seatpost for $48. That's less than half the normal cost. I have one already on a bike and like it- the saddle adjustment process is easy and reliable.

Looks like the sale ends soon. Anyone else try the carbon wheels or rims and have anything to say about them?

My final order from TheHouse, for two pair of the 35's, is very delayed by FedEx, so presumably the truck got caught in bad weather back in Minnesota.

They were sent 2-day, almost a week ago. Tracking shows FedEx had them on Wednesday but there have been no tracking updates since literally Wednesday.

My previous 55's all made it here timely in great condition, one box looked to have been opened by someone along the way though, the flaps literally completely open but the inner packaging intact/complete.

I just ordered a set of 27.5" rims for $114 delivered!

I am going to use the rims to surprise a riding buddy with pretty tight finances with a nice carbon wheelset. I wish R2 Bike still shipped DT hubs to the US....

I am pretty sure the width (outside) is the middle number and the last number is the spoke count.

I ordered what I "think" are 34mm OD width rims which should end up being 28mm or 29mm ID.

I will let everybody here know how the rims measure out when they arrive.

My goal is to build a sweet wheelset for my buddy for less than $325.
