Anyone have any experience with them? I did a quick search and didn’t come up with anything. I’m specifically looking at their carbon gravel wheels but any feedback is welcome. They seem to be a relativey new company with some proprietary technology but generally good reviews so far, and a good price point.

I guess that’s a no. I just ordered a pair so I’ll give some feedback once I get them!
Can’t say anything about the wheels, but if I had to make a choice, I’d probably go with Aerocoach wheels for an extra few hundred £/$ with slightly deeper rim sections.
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.
Funny enough I love the graphic,
minimalist and a bit retro. To each his own I guess!
I’m also fascinated by the hub. The biggest downside I’ve read is that it’s pretty loud, but for the price and considering the weight I thought it was worth a shot.
Website says delivery to North America in 3-6 business days so I should be able to give you some feedback relatively soon.

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!
Sorry to resurrect this, but I’m very curious how your longer-term experience with the wheels is going.

Love them. I have a few hundred miles on the wheels and I’ve been very happy with them so far. The ratchet hub engages quickly although its a bit loud. I’ve ridden them everywhere from ashpalt to techy singletrack with roots and rocks and they seem very durable so far. Much lighter than what I had on the bike previously. Highly recommended.
One small thing to keep i mind if you live in the US (or other non-EU places I assume) - although the shipping is technically free, FedEx will bill you a ~$100 tax to import the wheels from the UK. Not a huge deal but something to consider in the math.
The company should ship the wheels through their postal service and declare a low value.
Thanks for the reply, and good to know about the import tax. I’m in California, so assume Hunt and others are in the same boat; they should advertise that a bit better!
Have you considered Reynolds wheels?
Where in California do you live?
Bay Area; I have but they don’t seem as much value, and narrower internals.
What internal rim width are you looking for?
