Crank Brothers Cobalt Wheelset

Got our first set of Crank Brother Cobalt wheels in. Pretty cool looking.
I think we got 2 sets in the door, but one has been sold already. Come check out the remaining one while it is here.
One of the first thing that caught my eyes was the way the spokes are totally straight, and can be adjusted in the center. Crank Brothers says that “the nipples are long, and the spokes are short” – I’ve never seen nipples that are the same length as the spokes before. But it moves the weight away from the outside of the wheel (where it is bad), and makes the wheel easier to true.
24 spoke, tubeless only, disc only. 682 grams front, 852 grams rear.
Comes with a funky two stage quick release skewer, which increases clamping force.
Can’t wait to see what they are like on the trails.
