    Bought new in 2015, these wheels have approx. 3000Km on them - half of which was on smooth Swiss roads. Running true, with no signs of wear and have never needed any maintenance so far - have been 100% hassle free. Not sure if these wheels have wear indicators on or not, but I'll check. Shimano hub for 8/9/10 speed (no cassette fitted - I have a part worn 9 speed if wanted).
    Tyres still look brand new after approx 1500Km. I have the tool and spare pins for fitting, but got these fitted in dlb cycles so they are still in the packet.
    QR skewers included as well.
    I'll post pictures tomorrow as I'm in work right now.

    Asking 150 ono.

    Just to add - these are solid tyres. 100% puncture proof as there's no air in them - you can see on the first pic the open valve hole. I did have tape over the holes, but it looked grubby so I removed it and cleaned the residue off when I removed the wheels from my bike - just didn't have any new tape handy to redo it to keep any water out.
    Each tyre cost €70 fitted, and the wheels almost as much as both tyres, but I can be flexible on the price as I'm not using them.

    Sorry, forgot to resize the pics before I uploaded them.

    How comfortable/grippy-in-the-wet are these when compared to standard tyres with tubes?

    They are surprisingly good in the wet but I would admit that I haven’t really pushed to find where they lose grip. Comfort wasn’t ideal on my bike with an alloy fork but was better on my carbon fork bike.
    They wouldn’t offer the same comfort as a normal tyre as you can’t reduce the pressure, but that’s the trade off for total puncture protection
