Misleading Claims and Poor Quality

After I put it to the test, these wheels failed to live up to their supposed durability claims. The build quality was shoddy and the tires failed within a few weeks of use. My ride was bumpy and unstable. The only pro? They looked sleek, but that doesn't make up for their subpar performance. Don't waste your money on these wheels.

Pros
  • Lightweight and durable design
Cons
  • May require special tools and knowledge to install and maintain

Light and well built but the hub sucks

I glued my tubs together only to find the hub is an old Shimano 10 speed hub that is no longer used. Carefully! You will either have to replace the bushing or grind the splines. This should have been mentioned in the product description. I'm very upset as this means more downtime. I deducted two stars for improper use of the case. Novatec hubs for Techlite wheels use a 15mm rear axle. An 11-speed Novatec Type B2 hub fits. All Novatec bushings are the same length, the difference is in the width…

Pros
  • Sport
Cons
  • I keep calm

Good wheels in wheels

These are really good wheels. Get them on sale because they're not the modern wide rim carbon wheels you're seeing now. If you're still running 10-speed like me, the cassette hub will work, but not 11-speed. I have a set of Techlite alloy clincher tires that I use. They are very light but also narrow. These were really good bikes that I've been riding for over a year. But these wheels are actually lighter and I couldn't believe it. I weighed the wheels and they weighed just under 1300 grams…

Pros
  • wheels and accessories
Cons
  • uncertain
