Superteam 38/50/60/88mm Carbon Wheelset 700c Clincher 23mm Wheel UD Matte Finish

Update - I have now put about 1500 miles on them, the have been fast, solid and a great wheel set so far. There are signs that the front is every so slightly out of true, so I will get them tuned up soon, but in my experience no wheel stays totally true after 1500 miles of abuse, potholes etc. Would definitely buy again. I have put around 100 miles on them so far, and until now they are very impressive for the price. I will post a long term update review as I add miles. They arrived well packaged, and were true out of the box. Installing them was pretty straight forward and the only issue I had was getting the brake pads into my old rim calipers, but after trimming off the excess they fitted well. I fitted them with Bontrager R3 Tyres and they were much easier to fit to the rims than my Conti 4000s I previously struggled with on my old wheels. I could pretty much do it by hand. They are noticeably lighter than my Shimano R501 C30 clinchers, and the bike feels quicker to accelerate and easier to handle into corners as a result. They also feel smoother on the road. My first road resulted in my knocking over a minute of my best strava time on a steady climb I do. I did this holding the same watts as I had done previously, so the only conclusions I have is that the lighter and more aero wheels made the difference. I have repeated the effort on a different day, with the same results. It certainly feels quicker as soon as I go over 270 / 280 watts and into the 300s on climbs, and on the flats I can hold 20+mph a little easier. The braking performance also surprised me as it is actually better than I had with my previous non carbon wheels. I tested the brakes down a descent of 5 minutes or so, stopping to see if there was any heat build up, and the brake track was stone cold. After the first couple of rides they remain true and I am very impressed in the quality for the price.

I bought the 80mm and I’d have to say I’m very pleased with them so far. I like the loud noise of the rear hub, the quality of the carbon seems good and the performance of the wheels is noticeable. I’ve ridden a little over 150 miles with no issues. I used the wheels in a recent Ironman 70.3 and the performance was excellent. The difference climbing was very noticeable and so was reaching top speed on straight aways, downhills and flats. I’m going to continue to ride these until failure and then rebuild the wheels with new spokes and better hubs. Few things to consider: purchase a quality set of valve extenders. The ones that came with the wheel set were garbage and did not work with any tubes. As other reviews mentioned, don’t rely on the brake pads that come with the wheel set. Do yourself a favor and throw those out and buy and install a higher quality ones for better stopping power and more reliability. Definitely a solid option and worth the price!

These wheels are superb. A great combination of aerodynamics, ride and stiffness. I love the “whirring” noise that they make. Very true right out of the box. The hub is a bit noisy, but I don’t care.

Purchased this product in September 2023. Since then I've put several thousand miles on them. Initial impressions was great. They appear well made without any defects in the carbon. The hubs are decent and roll sightly while pedaling. They spin much smoother than my 10 year old hubs (ya, it was past time to get new bearings and upgrade). I usually ride about 10-20 miles per day and more on the weekends with 50+ group rides for special occasions. The biggest down side I've found to keep this from being a 5 star review is the spokes. They keep comming undone. I've never had that problem with any other wheels set. Even if I tighten them, they still come lose. (I'm careful to keep the wheel true when replacing them.) This last time the spoke broke on the axel end and now I need a replacement spoke. I'm not jumping or riding on any gravel. Just standard asphalt roads. I do feel I've gained some speed with fresh wheels and hubs. ***update 7/19/2024 - three more spokes have broken. I'm not hitting anything or jumping. Just normal road rides. I even took the wheel to a bike shop to have it professionally balanced. I have started replacing my spokes with 253mm round so I can see how many I have replaced.. 8/25/2024 - lost another rear spoke. That makes 5 so far. I been riding only on the street, about 100 miles a week or more depending on time, and then a few longer group rides a year.

My first ride on these was in December 2020. Since then I have put about 1200 miles on them. They are still as perfect as the first day out of the box. The bearings are super smooth. The wheels are seemingly still perfectly true; no "hop" or side-to-side wobble evident. They are noticeably stiffer than the Mavic Ksyrium Elite wheels they replaced, and produce quicker acceleration. They also ride lighter and climb better. The wheel rim is 23 mm, which is ideal for the 25 mm tires I use. 23 mm is also ideal for even larger tires that are becoming popular. I chose the 50 mm wheels; a good balance between aerodynamics, weight and strength. I don't care for the loud freewheeling noise from the rear hub, but It is not a performance or quality issue. For the amazingly low price, these are a steal. Extra spokes are included in the box. I just don't see how CF wheels costing three times as much could be three times better. I can never go back to aluminum rims. And, they just look cool. TWO YEAR,FOUR MONTH REVIEW See all above. Still noisy, but otherwise perfecto. Braking surface still smooth and whole. After an extra 2500 miles since purchase, they still roll true. Why do so many other brands cost so much more?

I got these several months ago and have been very happy so far after about 1000k of use. They are very responsive on hills especially, have increased my accelleration and overall I have picked up a few K of avg. speed. This is my first carbon set and I have really noticed the difference in a big way. I really happy with the purchase. The company is very responsive, and packaging (including several spare spokes) and shipping was very good.

First time changing wheelset, so i don't have a precedent to compare with.. But have to say, once i changed out the old stock wheels, i made tremendous improvement on my cycling speed. Easily increased my average speed by 2km/hr on the usual 10km flat segment i do. Installation was also simple enough for me (someone who's not very handy).

This product looks good and workmanship also looks good. Waiting for spring to give them a try.
