Great wheelset! - Cycling

The wheelset was easy to order and the seller was very clear about the options I needed. After confirming the order, the wait began. The bikes finally arrived after 9 weeks. The long delivery time was less the fault of the seller than the carrier. During transport, the wheels were very well protected in the box, each in its own protective film. When delivered, each wheel was absolutely correct and round, well tensioned. The setup consisted of bearings, rotors, cassette etc. In my case the wheels are standard quick release with a 135mm rear axle and the wheelset came with the correct spec plugs. Not sure if you can purchase thru-axle caps separately, but if you can that would be a plus. I don't ride tubeless, but the included TLR rim tape seems to be of good quality too. My first impression from the first ride is that the wheels are good, stiff and nimble. They're a lot lighter than what I used, which added to the initial "fast" feel. The aero spokes are fairly flat, so there was certainly a little more sailing effect in crosswinds. I went for a lighter rim and a deep aerodynamic rim. With the spokes used and the 60 mm rim you will almost certainly feel a cross wind. In general I like what I have. The price was excellent, much less than some brands, and the wheels were exactly to my specs. The seller also responded promptly. For my use case (winter/gravel bike) the price is perfect as the conditions I use the bike in are harsh Pacific Northwest winters and gravel roads. Due to the terrain and weather I will be using these wheels as they are a great subject for long term testing. Time will tell, but for now these wheels are of great value.
