ELITEWHEELS Road Bike Carbon Wheels 700c Clincher 30/38/50/55/60/82mm Carbon Wheelset Tubeless Ready Cycling Wheel U Shape

Design and quality are really good. I'm running these with TPU tubes. I will be flipping these over to tubeless once I have some time to do that. For me I like rim brake bikes eventhough I have disc bikes.Overall the build quality is really good and they perform great. I taken these out on short 15 mile rides and my avg speed is higher than the disc bikes. The wheels came true. The rear cassette is bit louder but honestly it doesn't bother me. It actually helps with people walking the roads imo. If you have a rim brake bike that you desire to get carbon wheels, I think Elite (this model) is a good choice to consider.7/5. I flipped over to tubeless using Orange Sealant and Michelin Power Cup TLR 28mm and everything went as expected. The tires seated with the rims with no problem. No leaks not even a little. It’s important to seat the tires before adding sealant. I did this with a high volume floor pump.

5th Update (11-9-2024) I now have 10,000 miles on these 3 1/2 yr old wheels and they continue to be rock-solid. They remain true and spoke- tension is even throughout. Impressive at any cost, but ~$400 they're a relative steal. Were I to buy new ones I'd go with 21mm inner width rims to enable wider tires. I'm now running 700X30MM hybrid tubeless tires which and they're fine but I can't go any wider on the 19mm rims. NBD.4th Update (12-31-2023) Another 1,500 miles , another update. All is good. Were I not superstitious I'd sell my truing stand. Both wheels are still true in every direction. I've added a few more scratches to the rims which annoys me -- my responsibility of course -- but everything else about the wheels is as you'd want: trouble free. 32 months of ownership. Solidly 5 stars.3rd UPDATE (10-4-22) 7,000 miles total and the wheels are rock solid. Even after a crash while turning with a flat front tire (my fault) which knocked me out yet not the wheel, the spoke tension and trueness are holding. If we're giving up something with this $400 carbon wheelset (weight?) compared with known brands I have yet to find it. Noisy hub if I have to come up with a negative. NBD. Amazing value and quality.2nd UPDATE (12-30-21) I've put on another 1500 miles after the last update bringing the total mileage on the wheels to 3,500. They continue to be rock solid. They are true and holding spoke tension. My previous comments and recommendation have been reinforced. Quality for price is outstanding.UPDATE (10-7-21) after 4 months and over 2000 miles: Still true with consistent spoke tension. An unexpected bonus is that the tubeless tires hold their seal without air when I'm refreshing sealant. I can use a floor pump to reinflate. Reflects the quality of the wheel build. Solid all around and a great value. Very pleased with my experience (The front wheel is a bit scratched from carelessly putting in my truck bed. Obviously, that's on me! )ORIGINAL REVIEW: Except for two issues which were a nuisance but not worthy of one less star -- I'll discuss them later -- I'm very pleased with these, my first set of carbon wheels.I'm an experienced cyclist and I do all my wrenching. Can I give you an opinion on the relative merits of this wheelset compared with others made of carbon? Of course not, but I did considerable research in general, and specifically on ELITE, a company I was unfamiliar with, I took a chance on it, and after 470 miles I'm completely satisfied. I hope to add to this review at the end of the year after 2500 more miles.I purchased the 50mm X 27 MM tubeless set and installed 700X25 Continental 5000TL (tubeless) tires (despite the colossal pain with mounting them.) . I wanted wider rims to get the proper aero effect (Look-up 105 rule), which were not easy to find at this price level. I ride in Tucson AZ on roads that vary in surface quality and I was concerned with harshness from the new wheels Coming from custom-made tubeless metal wheels which were very comfortable on rough surfaces I was apprehensive. To my pleasant surprise, these are even better -- something I did not expect. No harshness and they roll beautifully.When the wheels arrived I checked the true and spoke tension. Absolutely spot-on. After the 470 miles they're still true, if just a wee-bit off on lateral, and spoke tension is holding. Nice.Undoubtedly it's partially a placebo effect, but my metrics are up over the three weeks I've been riding with them. Road feedback is great and they are stable at any speed. Over 18-20MPH I could feel the aero effect.The 3k brake track is as advertised -- with carbon-specific pads the brake feel and action is very good. Carbon wheels with rim brakes are known to have a delay in braking versus metal rims. I found that to be minimal.One thing I don't like is the noisy hub. I came from an Ultegra freehub which was very quiet. I expected more noise. and. alas, I got it. It's a personal thing and not a big deal. I'm already adjusting to it. It's a form. not a functional thing.Some customization is possible. I asked for red spoke nipples, 3K gloss finish and black logos -- no problem.Inside the rim of one wheel was a lump of dried resin which should have been removed before leaving the factory. I was concerned my tubeless tires would not seat correctly. ELITE owned the issue immediately and gave a remedy that it admitted I should not have had to employ. I mounted the tires without sanding the bump and the tires seated fine. A bonus, is that both wheels with sealant are holding pressure longer than with my previous wheels.The company's estimate of one month to get to you is very optimistic -- at least in my case -- and I advise patience when a week or two could go by without an update particularly if it uses a certain carrier. Think Singapore.Could I have bought lighter wheels made of better carbon, better spokes and a ceramic hub housed in carbon which was less noisy? Of course, but not at this price. It sells widely in China (you can probably guess where) and is relatively new to Amazon. It's a big company and I'd reckon an OEM manufacturer as well.I confirmed in writing that its 1000 day warranty does NOT require you to send a wheel back IF it is covered. In my experience that's where disreputable Asian sellers earn their bad reps.This has to be one of the best values for carbon wheels extant today. I'm a very happy customer.

Review for Elite Wheels 38mm depth (rim brake) Carbon Wheelset. Packaging was satisfactory with no damage to the wheel set. Package included rim tape, brake pads, and surprisingly good QR axles. Measured weight without tape, or valves was 1590g (f: 700 / r:890). No noticeable defects in the carbon and the wheels were true out of the box which is important because they are pretty wide, meaning there's not much gap between the brake pads and rim surface. Had to sand my front brake pads down to fit the front wheel in a Shimano direct mount caliper. I haven't noticed any significant performance gains or comfort gains from switching to carbon wheels, but they're about 150g lighter than my old aluminum wheels.

I have had 2 spokes break over about two years. The first time was within a year and it was a major concern on the quality. The second one just happened- rear wheel both times. The 'warranty' coverage means they will send you 2-3 spokes and you are on your own to replace or have a lbs do it... not cheap. The wheel itself went right back to true after minimal spoke tensioning. It kind of haunts you to think it could happen on a fast downhill but both times was just random climbing a low hill. I am about 175 lbs so within the weight limit and ride a lot but on typically smooth roads. Not a deal breaker for the price and except for the broken spokes the wheels/hubs are great.

Great product, I've gotten a lot of mileage of them.Value for money:Great buy for the value!!Stiffness:Road riding and climbing are fantastic Sound quality:They can hear you coming, sounds great.

These wheels are awesome would recommend these to anyone wanting carbon wheels. They are stiffer and being 38mm they climb amazingly.

Perfecto todo!
