I’ve had a few sets of “Chinese carbon” wheels and the Achilles heel has always been the hubs. But if you invest in a good set of hubs like the ones in video the rims have proven to be excellent in my experience.
$680 to my door. I chose from 2 options, superteam and DT swiss. If I had to make the purchase and again I would chose superteam and save the $60 plus dollars.
About 70% of your braking is done with the front wheel so that’s probably why it’s like that. I’m sure it has zero effect on the braking performance. I’m debating between a set of super teams or elites for my next wheelset
elites are nice as well. The nice thing about Chinese carbon wheel set is that you can get cool unique patterns. The fake ee brakes are awesome, they have good power braking. I can just sit and skid out my back wheel with little effort.
Meh few thousand isn't that much, should last a tenfold. I have some cheap alloy OEM rims (Mach1) for about 8 years now and put at least 8500km each year on them. Just make sure to pack the hub bearings with fresh grease every 2 or 3 years.
That's cool, however this video is for people who are looking into carbon wheelset. I agree that a few thousand km is not much, however it is still something for people to go by on. I read a review on superteam carbon wheels last over 15000km and all that person had to do was replace the bearings.😏
@@QoraxAudio Of course alloy wheels last longer then carbon. Again, this video was a review for people who are interested in carbon wheels, not alloys.
@@QoraxAudio Are you trolling? Metal versus epoxy glue and fabric... Either way, I love my carbon wheels and I will at some point will have to replace my currant set for a new carbon set, that is just our reality for carbon lovers.

The hubs I have with these wheels are DT350 swiss. I'm pleased with these wheels and hubs and I would buy superteam again.
How much did it cost when your purchased it? Was the DT Swiss hub standard or it was installed on your wheel as a special order?

@@therandomguy5742Is lifespan for carbon rims typically shorter than alloy ones?

@@therandomguy5742Ah okay I didn't know that, I thought that carbon was more high-tech so it would last longer...
