Our first review is of a hand built wheel set from Fairwheel Bikes. This wheel set weighs in at a scant 1423 grams and features Kinlin rims laced to a DT Swiss 240 hub using DT Swiss Aerolite spokes. There are two different versions of the wheels with varying rim depth; a lighter 27mm version and a stronger 30mm version, the one chosen for this test uses the slightly lighter Niobium XR-270.

When doing this review I ran across a major challenge. As a web designer, Fairwheel Bikes is my largest client and I therefore didn’t think I could offer an unbiased review. My solution: I sent out an email (to the OBRA list serve) and recruited OBRA racers to test ride the wheels for me. Following are the results of three individual experiences on a set of white wheels.
