    I'd be willing to bet they're from some of the Chinese carbon wheel manufacturers (yoeleo etc) with Wiggle/Cosine branding.

    Might be more 'reliable' if wiggle are selling them. You might expect a higher level of service also

    Even the big brand names get theirs made in China. Planet X frames and /wheels are and ditto Ribble, decathlon and lots of other own brand frames/wheels. The upside is you get the benefit of EU warranties, Sale of Goods Laws, Distance selling rights etc, that you don't get by going direct to China, though warranties and service seem to be ok from far sport, yeoleo to name but two.

    Thats what I was thinking. Just means you a pay a premium over and above going direct

    They missed a serious coup with the Disc wheels. The should've made the rim Tubeless and the Hubs compatible with adapters for the various standards, like the DT Swiss and Stan's wheels do.

    The 32mm one is, so one out of the 2 disc brake alloy sets support tubeless.
