ELITEWHEELS Carbon Wheelset 700c Disc Brake UD Matte Carbon Fiber Road Bicycle Wheels 30/38/50/55/60/82mm Tubeless Clincher

The media could not be loaded. I bought these wheels so I can use my gravel bike on the road more easily. I recently just switched to tubeless so my gravel wheels are no longer able to swap tires.First thing I notice, the craftmanship is exceptional. Granted these are my first carbon wheels, but comparing them to the aluminums that I used for years, they are more true, stiffer and overall just faster. The rear wheel is noisy not gonna lie but it is still tolerable. Compared to other high end wheels, they are less noisy though. If you are looking for obnoxiously loud wheel, this is not the one.My gravel wheelset is a DT Swiss Gravel LN. The cassette positions on both wheels are perfect, no shifter adjustment needed. The brake rotors, not so much. The front brake needs repositioning every transition.This wheelset comes with QR endcaps and a roll of unbranded tubeless tape. I did not use any of those but the tubeless tape seems to be of standard quality. If you're planning on setting this wheelset tubeless, note that you have to buy the valves separately.Edit - after more than a year of owning:So these wheels (38 deep) enables me to keep up with a group who averages 19mph and still have some juice left after each ride (30mi/1000ft and 50mi/1500ft). My bike is around 23 lbs on a ride day. Really impressed by this improvement.After a year they stayed true but the bearings need servicing which is a matter of fact I would think. The hub started creaking.Unfortunately I hit a medium sized rock on the road one day and the rear rim got crushed, sidewall cracked and was separating from the inner structure. I rode another 50mi group ride not realizing the rear wheel is already compromised. Nothing significant happened except the rear tire was losing more pressure each day than usual. It's what led me to inspect the rear wheel.I bought another set of 50mm deep this time, but only replaced the rear wheel. New wheels are again trued and tensioned properly. But I am not liking how carbon are very susceptible to damages from road debris. This will be my last carbon set and would go back to aluminums if they break again.

I had an amazing experience buying this set of wheels, the contact for info was very satisfactory, you guys worry about every detail. The wheels are just amazing, already tried and the bike is fantastic, now I have a smooth, faster bike and also the visual is incredible beautiful. Really good price, just loved. I recommend to everyone!!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I've now taken two rides on my new wheelsets, 20 and 50 miles, respectively, and I could not be more thrilled. At a price point that suited my budget, I find my new wheels to be stiff and responsive, reasonably lightweight, and nicely balanced. I did quite a lot of research before making this purchase, with a clear-eyed acceptance of the fact that now, well into my sixties, my glory days certainly behind me, I'll not likely ever make the cut to race in the Tour. That said, with the satisfaction of moving through beautiful spaces under a canopy of blue, this upgrade keeps me looking forward to the idylls of each day's bike ride.

Update: 4/15/2024 I have put 500 miles on these wheels. I've hit some serious potholes and bumps in the mix. These wheels are still true and running perfect. Again, I'm a bigger dude and these have been great. Super impressed so far.The wheels are amazing for the price. Obviously not the lightest wheels, but seem a bit more stout. I received the 700c x 38 with 28mm outer diameter. This wheel gives my 28c tires the perfect shape. The hubs seem decent and my wheels were very true. However, the rear hub is pretty loud. I am a bigger guy @ 250lbs, these have held up great with my weight. I have had some pretty hard hits from pot holes etc. No issues at all. Time will tell, and I will update if anything changes.

To date, as of 10/11/2023, I have ridden the wheels much. They are my favorite set. After 7 months of long riding, it is still true. The hubs role forever. I hit a curb with the front wheel and couldn't find or feel any signs of damages. I am 6 feet tall, 200 pounds and the wheels do not flex at any point while I am riding. I have deliberately leaned hard from side to side while applying the brakes and I haven't felt any flexing of the wheels or heard any rotor rubbing. The wheels are exceptionally strong and I expect them to last a very long time. My next build will feature Elite wheels.Initial Reactions: I bought these for my Canyon Grail AL gravel bike after getting my wife a set for her Liv Avail back in March 2023. These wheels are the ones! The weight is light enough if you're not racing. I care about speed, but I don't need speed to come easy to me. I push any of my bikes to my desired average MPH when it comes to speed. To pass or leave me, regardless of what you're riding, you will have to earn it. Even with the 105 groupset, combined with mechanical disc brakes, this bike isn't too heavy with these wheels. The bike looks better, sounds better, and rides incredibly better than it did with the Fulcrum wheels. The stiffness is noticeable and people hear me coming on the trail. Whatever bearings the wheels came with, the set rolls forever! I am still so impressed! Folks might avoid them because of where they're made...not me and I am so glad that I bought ICANS, Superteams, and now Elite wheels.

These wheels were exactly what I was looking for. In my price range.They also had the correct lock ring design for my disc brakes. I didn't use a six bolt design.They fit my Shimano 2x11 cassette. They sound beautiful! I like my wheels loud.They're not the lightest carbon wheels I've ever owned but for the price you can't beat them.They came as true as you can get a wheel. No need for spoke adjustments.The tubeless tape they send isn't the best I've ever seen but I was able to replace it with some stans tubeless tape.They seem to hold air for a long time with tubeless setup.
