You mean the "G3" spoke pattern? Or something else?

They are really, really good actually

I’d honestly love to give the Campagnolo Levante a go but I can’t be bothered really when I have the Shamals. The Levante offer a traditional spoke pattern with a wider rim width and less weight actually. Then again…. first world problems and such…

This is one of very few bikes that genuinely gives me bike envy. It's just so fuckin' right.

Quoting entire post to force the thread to see it again. God it's good.

Thank you .

I feel like they vibe well with the crankset though, which is also kinda funky looking (in the best sense of the term). I’m sure the performance is superb.

AG2R Citroen Team uses these wheels as their training wheels actually.

I would love to try some of these components as I think the finish really works well with the Mosaic but I simply can't justify changing my current components. The performance would suffer though as their rear mech only allows 12s instead of 13s.

Yep. Can't get into them aesthetically. They remind me too much of the old paired-spoke wheels like Bontrager and Rolf. I prefer a more traditional wheel. I love the look of the wheels on my gravel bike. Just ultralight Nextie i21 rims on 240 SP CL 28h hubs with Aerolites and alloy Squorx nipples. Super light and strong. I love the look of the low profile on the rim, plus the lack of graphics.

Yeah I get that. Spoke pattern is not for everyone.

I would prefer these instead;

Levante

Mori's bike's are so legit, agree with Sherb... I don't get bike envy often but that Mosaic, and the Baum too, are gorgeous

I'm considering getting another drop bar frame for my leftover Rival XPLR stuff and rebuilding my Crux as an utralight road+ bike again. What I might do is wait for the Rival AXS model Roubaix to come back into stock in 56cm and get that because it would be an easy conversion to the XPLR stuff.

I can't keep up in here, but new wheel day for the commuter. Didn't notice the stickers aren't lined up with the stems, and I lined the hot patches up with the stems Rolleyes

What do you mean the stickers aren't lined up by the hot patches are? Do you mean wheel decals? Those don't necessarily have to be lined up with the stem as long as they're the same between the two wheels

They’re off, and not evenly. I just assumed they would be 90* from the stem and didn’t even think about it. eBay take off wheels, I guess you never know what you’ll get
