i brought these on an offer day leading up to Christmas, really impressed with the wheels, good quality, quick delivery, looks(IMO) Brouht them to replace Mavic rims and no descript hubs on my Boardman Team 29er. theses are super smooth.
I have the 38T version in use with new chain. I could not find any unusual noise. If the angle is very steep you can hear a slight rattling. But this is also the case with Force 1. Even in heavy mud the drive works well.
Buidl quality looks good, too bad it will not work witk Holwitzer BB. Socket is not deep enough. If you are stubborn (like me). It will destroy your Holwitzer tool locking holes.
These wheels are very nicely made, roll well, are lightweight and complement my bike nicely compared to the old stock wheels (Btwin aero wheels). I am a triathlete and recently did a Duathlon - 16km in 26 minutes (3rd place overall) and these wheels performed extremely well paired with some Schwalbe One wheels. I have an upcoming race in Edinburgh and they will perform nicely on the hills I am goi
I bought this wheelset on Xmas day 1. What to say, good looking, strong, super freehub sound, but too heavy, 1778 grams. Good wheelset for trail and am, but if you want light XC wheels don''t go for this wheels. There was no declared weight of the wheelset, but I put everything on the paper, Crest rims 380 grams, front hub 200 gr, rear hub 320 gr, spokes with nipples some 170 gr for a wheel. With
I've had these wheels for about 6 months. They needed to be trued before I'd even ridden on them. Out of the saddle, they are too flexible and i get brake rub. I'm only 72kg and not exactly a watt monster, so the wheels are not as good as I expected. The hubs sound nice and they look good, but I am not impressed with the wheels.
Decided to venture into the world of 1x setups on my older Giant Anthem, went for the 34t and it has been perfect, one dropped chain after a crash, apart from that no issues at all using my standard length rear mech. Great quality product with very fast shipping. Only slight negative is that it didnt come with the chainring bolts.
