Review on 🚲 ICAN FL50 Carbon Road Bicycle Wheelset - Clincher Tubeless Ready Rim, Novatec AS511SB/FS522SB Hub, Sapim CX Ray Spokes - Only 1470g (Fast & Light Series) by Marcus Rash

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything is taken into account. . .

All in all these wheels are pretty good. They have good specs: hubs, spokes and rims, although the latter is the only component made locally. Not every avid road cyclist can pay more than $2,000 for a 50mm carbon wheelset that weighs less than 1,500 grams. Perhaps compared to the Enve, Zipp, or similar counterparts on the market, these discs are a bit inferior in manufacturing precision, but again---all things considered, they're an excellent offering. They live up to their name: Fast & Light. My kit was delivered near perfect in the Real and Round categories and on my first 65 mile ride I installed 2 PRs. So, for a third of the cost of the above manufacturers, these ICANs are an extremely attractive proposition. Time and miles will tell their durability to keep them true and round. One caveat: the included brake pads don't do the job. But even at $45 x 2 for two pairs of high-end carbon pads, you're way ahead of your sky-high competitors in terms of cost. Well done IKAN!
