Brilliant! Better than advertised!

Super Team should better describe this product. The wheelset is much better and easier to use than advertised. FREE - it already comes with a spacer on the 10 speed hub. Just slide it for an 11-speed cassette. (see photo in RangerMike review) - FREE - Tubeless tape already installed so you can easily mount tubeless tires. (See pic of the red inner liner; this red liner is the tubeless tape that covers the spokes and seals the rim for tubeless tires.) I went with the 38mm wheelset and love the looks and light weight. The total weight of the wheelset, SRAM cassette, skewers, tires (Continental GP5000 Tubeless, 28mm) and 30ml sealant per tire (together) is 3685 grams. It's 2 pounds lighter than my 21mm metal rims with 25mm Kevlar tires. I was concerned that that wider rim (25mm) and 700-28 tires would be too wide for my full carbon fork. But they (hardly) fit. The distance between the bar and the fork on each side is 2mm. The tires were really out of the box. The difference in comfort when changing from metal rims with 25mm tubular tires to carbon rims with 28mm tubeless tires is astronomical. The improved comfort is much more than I imagined, as well as an automatic 2.4 km/h increase in average speed. If I drive less than 2 hours, I don't wear quilted pants - sports shorts are enough.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Expensive
