Industry Nine Torch - Anyone ridden yet?
Looking to build a new wheelset and considering the new Industry Nine Torch (classic) hubs. A few places have them in stock now so I'm curious to hear any riding impressions or initial impressions of the hubs.

1590 gram for the wheelset is what I am told. Will accept a 2.5 tire.

Not a ton of info here, but BikeRumor has initial impressions on the two sets they ordered here.

Bike Rumor has one set of Torch wheels, carbon rims, 32 spoke count.
The other set on their site is mine, Industry Nine Trail rims, 24 spoke count.
I've been on the older version of Industry Nine wheels since 2005. I've only had the new Torch wheels since early January.
So far, so good. I spoke with Jake at I9, and it took him a half hour to tell me about all the improvements from the previous model. Of course the only thing similar about the wheel system and the classic hubs will be the new bearing arrangement, the swappable endcaps, and the new freehub design (springs, pawls, and drive ring were all updated). Don't know what else you're looking to know, but I can try to answer any questions.

I have had a set for a few weeks. I have a couple hundred miles on them and they seem great. The actual weight for the trail 29 with 32 spokes was 1640 with rim strips and stems included. Given the wide footprint of the rims, I was impressed. They seem quite stiff and have been everything you would expect to date.
