Looks great! Did you find the ERD of 567 to be accurate?

MikeM: the ERD is accurate /- 1-2mm However, the tyres took a long time to get on. They were incredibly tight.

The ERD was accurate /- 1-2mm. Getting the Continental GP Supersonic tyres (23x700cc) onto the rims were very difficult. Super tight!! This meant it was a two-man job to get them off to repair a puncture. On the other hand my Vittoria Rubino Pro tyres go on and off with relative ease... Great wheels. Really light and they climb really well (they also make a great sound at full tilt). Usually story with fitting; 1) check the spacers on your brake shoes to ensure you have enough room for the wheels/rims to fit; 2) the hubs come with the manufactured six palls inside, meaning that resistance and noise is a bit excessive. I removed three from the hub, ensuring the palls are equally spaced, lightly lubricated them and took a little bit of tension out of the retaining clip... The rear hub now runs really smoothly.

It's not actually a cyclo-cross bike. It's a De Rosa R838 road bike. The rim diameter was accurate to within /- 2mm. I must admit that the tyres (Continental GP Supersonics clinchers with the matching Continental Race 28 supersonic tubes) where an absolute nightmare to fit... Very very tight. I couldn't get them on with rim tape and only just managed to get them on with rim tape removed. I'm pretty sure they'll be impossible to remove in the event of a puncture. Hopefully with full PSI they'll stretch s bit.
