Aeromax Alloy Wheelset Road Bike Comp 700c Wheels

I bought these wheels for my son's Cannondale R300. We're on a fairly tight budget and for a comparable wheelset in this price range, I'd be looking for something used on Craigslist. The wheels were boxed adequately and the QR skewers came in a little drawstring bag. Overall the wheels are attractive with the deep section rims and black bladed spokes. Lacing is 20 radial front and 24 2x rear. The spokes are evenly spaced around the hub, they are not the "paired spoke" design that is depicted. The graphics are a bit overdone in my opinion, so I removed all of the stickers with the exception of the more understated ones near the valve holes. The adhesive left a bit of residue that was easily removed with a citrus oil based cleaner. The front wheel arrived with a nice even braking surface and only minor lateral truing issues that were easily remedied. The rear wheel was true, but the rim weld was a bit off resulting in a seam on one side of the braking surface that would have caused a noticeable "pulse" in the rear braking action and exacerbated pad wear. The judicious use of a utility knife and some 150 grit sandpaper leveled it out adequately. Had the front wheel evidenced a similar seam problem I would have returned the wheelset as front braking smoothness is of paramount importance to me. The rim strips are relatively thin plastic with the valve openings somewhat elongated. As with many new rims, a slight burr was evident at the hole for the valve stem risking damage to the tube at the base of the stem. Best to remove the rim strip, deburr the hole, and ideally use Velox rim tape or a thicker/tougher rim strip. The bearings on both wheels evidenced just a bit more tightness that I care for, but not enough to motivate me to adjust them. I will reevaluate them after a few hundred miles of riding. You won't find anything even close to these wheels at this price. They're not perfect, but for our needs they fit the bill perfectly. I would certainly recommend them to others, just make sure to inspect them carefully for quality control issues as the manufacturer has to cut corners somewhere.

So there I was, hammering down the road on my commuter bicycle when I was boxed into a pothole at the last second by a car. Did I say "pothole"? You could have hid a small elephant in this thing. I tried to hop this pit, but didn't get the back wheel across very well, and BAM! POP! WHOOSH! I am now off the road with a shredded tire, destroyed tube, and a wheel that is so far from round that it was gone before I even got the bike stopped. After a fair amount of Amazon reading, I chose these tires, and was very pleased with the purchase. For their cost, they are a good weight and I found both wheels to be extremely true. The spokes are faired and easily adjustable for future truing (spoke pattern/layout) when the roads abuse you. I have found the these wheels to remain more true than my stock wheels, requiring less frequent and less drastic adjustment. I run 700x23C Gatorskins, and they fit well in the rims. I bought these tires with primary purpose of commuting (30 miles round trip) over some fairly rough (for a road bike) spots and weekend training or bike club rides. I wanted something that may fall victim to a bike-eating pothole without crushing my soul and my wallet - but didn't want something so clunky that the miles and training rides would have me yearning for more performance. These wheels worked great for that. As with any tire in this price range, don't forget the rim tape as the included tape has the same protection as a strip of newspaper. Also, note the cassette type else you'll be in the market for more than just a wheel (which can also be fun and interesting). Happy riding!

So far so good! This is a very affordable upgrade to a lower end bike for sure! As with cars, the single easiest way to change the whole appearance is the wheels. They even came with tape so that saved me the trouble of having to tape the rim myself. The skewers are ok, they work, but I will probably upgrade those. Also quick and easy way to convert from bolt-on axles to quick release. If I run into any issues I’ll update the review but so far pretty satisfied with these. Btw I used Kenda tubes with 48mm Presta valves and that was more than enough to clear the rim. I’m using 700x32c Continental Ride Tour tires. Getting everything put together was pretty simple but I’m glad I had one of those plastic tools for the end of the tire install!

Nice and sturdy for streets that are all beat up. Jumping curves, no problem. A little on the heavy side but you can't beat the price. Not to flashy, good for not attracting to much attention. Very pleased on the packing, delivering, and PRICE.

I like these wheels. It has enhanced my cycling enjoyment, and performance. Using them on a 1979 Raleigh and they fitted correctly. I left the Durability assessment empty. It is too early to say how they will last. I weigh about 240 lbf so they do get stressed by me. So far I have about 150 miles on them and they are doing fine. Anybody below 200 lbf should have no problems with durability.

After nearly 30 years my front rims were worn through. I chose these wheels for the good price and good reviews. Like others I found the hub to be too tight, so I had to loosen it before mounting on the bike. Once I got the adjustment right it worked fine. They are comparable in weight and roiling resistance to the wheels they replaced on my 30 year old Bianchi. But they give the old girl a nice new look. For some reason I found it very difficult to adjust the rear wheel when mounting it. It would spin freely when held by the hub but was way too tight when I put it on the bike. After a lot of fiddling I finally got it on properly and it has been fine ever since. Since purchasing in April I have put about 1500 miles on the front wheel and 500 on the back.
