New wheels 101

@OP. I'd always wondered about Prime wheelsets, liked the pricing and the specs and like the idea of a major brand like Wiggle/CRC putting their name on a wheelset and selling them themselves. It's in their interest to make a good product and then stand over it. I'd never actually seen a pair in real life though.
I recently got a chance to examine (thought not ride) a pair of Prime black edition 28's (https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/ie/en/prime-blackedition-28-carbon-wheelset/rp-prod166634_) and I was really impressed with the look and the finish, lightness and build quality. Great, great looking hoops. If the deeper ones are as nicely put together then they'd definitely be up toward the top of my list for the next time I go wheel shopping. The owner had nothing but good to say about them and according to him it there was neither blood spilt, sweat bucketed, nor tears shed in the mounting of tyres either
