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 Luis Green

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great wheels for the money * Long term test

Good quality wheels. The tension of the spokes was even, and the spokes with the blades were in the right position. The tubeless setup was pretty easy. Using some good tubeless tape, wrap the wheels twice and use a rag to remove any bubbles from the tape. Stan's 21mm tape fits perfectly. Do not overtighten the valves or they will leak. Bearing and sleeve are smooth. The front is so smooth that the valve rests on the stand on the bottom. I rode them all summer including the Fondo and some energetic group rides. They held up well and stayed true after over 1000 miles. I even hit the pothole so hard my Garmin's front mount broke, but the wheels stayed intact with no sign of damage. And now the great news! I have a set of Mavic Ksyrium ES anniversary bikes which are now my training bikes with 25mm GP4000 tires and a Sram PG1070 cassette - 11-26. The ICAN 50MM with tubeless Hutchinson Fusion and Ultegra 11-28 tires is 1.3 pounds lighter. Not a bad saving in rotational weight.

Pros
  • Solid build
Cons
  • Volume
