My 2nd set of XMCS wheels came in the mail today and weighed in at 1168g for the set. No quality control issues at all. Super smooth edges both inside the rim bed and out. So happy to have my prefered Aero 111 front and TT TR rear tyre setup again. There were no issues with fitting tyres without levers and both wheels run true with tyres inflated to 60PSI. I actually think the standard UD finish looks better on the bike too!
