of £99

This seems like a bargain. Is this for a pair of wheels or just the rear wheel??

At 1492g a pair they are very light

pookie · 10-02-16, 11:11 PM

I'm under the impression its for both as they say wheelset. I'll let you know when they arrive

10-02-16, 11:12 PM

Yep, bargain. So much so I just bought a pair!

I went for the gold, to go on my black bike. Going for the Yamaha R1 look

Without even knowing for sure I picked the elite 30s assuming that's a 30mm deep rim and they would be the 1510 gram ones? Either way they look pretty good. Cheers for the link Pookie!

Yip I bought a pair too. It's stupid money for a wheelset with figures like this. I mean I was saving up for Fulcrum Racing 3 wheels which are £300 and 1550 grams. These are only £99 including delivery and are lighter at a shade under 1500 grams.

Incredible value. They also get a good review on road cc website.

Ordered, same reason as Ramjam, plus I need to get an 11 speed rear wheel when put the upgrades on my Wilier . These are half the price of the Ultegra rear wheel I was going to buy

They look great value shame I've just bought new wheels, I would have gone for the Pave's I changed to a wider rim on my winter Aluminium bike and the difference in comfort is very noticeable using 25mm tyres ...I wont be going back to narrower rims.

I think I'd get killed if I took any real interest in these wheels. Besides I want to check out the weight of what I'm getting before I start up grading
STUPIDLY I told the gaffer how much I'd paid for the Sensa, timing was bad, she hadn't drunk enough wine to not care.... But she did admit that it's my money.

On the way home now for a snottery cycle in the cold.

Reviews seem positive

Review Wheels

Am hoping to save around 800grams from my current rims. Surely that will be a noticeable effect on my next ride
