Maybe it was all due to preproduction/production differences, let’s hope so….I’m riding a set for 4 months now. No problems so far, steers well. But time is coming I will use it on a daily base, but first I want them to be tubeless, so I’m going to try Stan’s.

@Jamie: I was told by FSA that Stan’s tape will do the trick.

I’ve had these wheels about 6 months and they’ve been fine although I must admit that the bike they are currently on does not get used as much as my others, however I am keen to change my tyres to Schwalbe Rocket Rons and I’m trying to find a tubeless kit that is proven to work with these rims, does anyone know of any please?…

Have had problems for a while now and called to get a warranty, they told me to just fix it.
I will NEVER buy these again and will NEVER recommend any FSA product to anyone. They say they offer a warranty but they don’t back it up. Waste of money and time.

yep, these wheels are pants. They came standard on my Kona Hei Hei, and after only a few rides were knackered. Agree with all the above.
