WTB Frequency i23 650b rims + Ardent 2.25_ridden

[HomegrownMN]

Built up a pair for myself over the weekend.
Picked up the i23's from Arts Cyclery (excellent service) and had my LBS cut and roll me some Sapim Force spokes. I used a set of Laserdisc Lite hubs that I already had.
Wheels built up super easy and smooth.
The 4D drilling of the spoke holes on the rims can be attributed to that.

Mounted up a Maxxis Ardent 2.25 tubless without any soapy water or compressor. Stupid easy

Couple rides in now and I couldn't be happier. Solid built, not too light, not too heavy. Nice and wide @ 23mm.
Hope this helps someone make a good choice in rims

Enjoy! (sorry I don't have weights. I'm not too concerned with weight)

I haven't pushed my luck with super low pressures yet, but I've gotta say the bead 'locks' into the rim better than many I've tried.
I like what WTB's got goin' on!

How does the size of that Ardent 2.25 compare to the NeoMoto 2.3?
