Need Testers for Wheelset; White Kinlin Rim, DT Swiss 240 Hub
My BH with white wheels! Kinlin Rims, DT swiss 240 Hubs, DT Swiss Aerolite Spokes
As part of my work with Fairwheel Bikes, I’m going to be putting together a review of one of our newer wheel set offerings: This hand built wheel set is eight hundred dollars, weighs in at 1423 grams, and is available in Black, Gold, Silver, Red, or White XR-270 Kinlin rims. I currently have the wheels sitting at my house and need to put together a review for them. Rather than ride them myself (which I have done) and then post a review, I’m going to take a different approach this time. I’d like to find around five people in the Portland area that are willing to take the wheels out for a few rides and write a review of them. I will then compile the reviews and rider experience into an article to be published. I feel that this will give a more honest and rounded perception of the wheel set.
A few things to Note:
- Your name, and if applicable, team name will be published, you might get yourself and team a little exposure.
- You will not be held responsible for damage to the wheels, but please treat them with respect, to test wheels you don’t need to do anything different than you do with your own.
- If you’re interested please post a comment on this posting, or contact me.

Duderocker – that bike looks wicked sexy! I’m excited to see the new Kinlin tubular rims too. Can you say “CX?” As you know, I’m a longtime fan of their 30mm clinchers – which are almost the same as the ones you have pictured. My race PowerTap is built in one.

Super interested in testing out a set of these wheels. Let me know the time and place and I’ll let you know what I think.

I’d enjoy testing them on the road and perhaps some CX on gravel roads as well.
They would go nicely with my SS cross bike:
