Please let us know how you get on. I'm between these and a set of Hunt for my road bike. Strange as it sounds it is the graphic that puts me off! I like the Hunt much better for looks. Sad I know.
Fascinated by the ratchet free hub; I hear the engagement is absolutely instant.
Cheers, Rich.
After a small hiccup I received my Scribe wheels a few days ago and got them set up and mounted today. So far I've only ridden them around the block a few times but I can say for sure that the hub engagement is impressively quick compared to the wheels they replaced. Between that and the light weight it gives my Crux a whole new feel - much snappier and more like my road bike which is what I was after.
Based on some comments and reviews I was concerned they might be really loud but I don't think they are any louder than my Hed Jet 6+ - it's just a slightly different sound. A little bit lower pitched and more "thumpy" rather than the high-pitched "zipper" sound.
They came taped and included tubless valves, 6-bolt to centerlock adapters, a 10-speed spacer and a few extra spokes and nipples.
So far I'm pretty impressed. Happy to answer any spcific questions to the best of my (limited) ability!
