Agreed, these are a bargain when you consider the build quality and the prices some of their competitors charge. Very happy customer here

20" as 19" simply will not clear the PCCB calipers.

You make me want to spend some money on new wheels, and I really shouldn't right now... But at least I know what to get when I decide to get new wheels. Seems quite a good bargain price/performance wise

They look great. I was on the fence with this exact combo, but something with the softer angle on the Y spoke side on the rear doesn't work for me. Front sharp angle is perfect.

I understand what you are saying as the angle on the spokes on the rear are a bit different than the front. I chock this up for two solid reasons: 1 the wider rear wheels requires them to sink the spokes into the wheel in order to line up with their hub design - I don't think they could have avoided this without some other aesthetic or weight compromise. 2 In the interest of maximizing caliper clearance for not only the PCCBs but also the steal brake setups they couldn't sink the spokes on the fronts at all (if they even wanted to). I'm pretty happy with the design choices they made given the constraints they were working with.
