Thank you sir. I tried my best not to make this a review episode but I appreciate you taking the time to watch regardless. Thank you and have a great day!!!
Thanks DC, another great episode and review. Magene has earned a good reputation in the industry over the past couple of years, that, along with your input would definitely put these on a list of wheels to consider. I absolutely believe that the Eastern brands, especially for carbon wheels are leading the pack. I cannot see any reason why one would spend twice as much for a Western brand, I can't see the difference in quality or performance at this time.
while Roval, DT SWISS or Zipp wheels might be worse on paper, they offer better warranty replacement policies and sponsor world tour teams. Additionally, reputation is a big thing among the egotistic cycling crowd so you won't see many Chinese wheels pop up any time soon. I still bought the Elitewheels Helix upon release because I don't care what others think.
Great video! I recently ordered them and am awaiting delivery. This company seems to be gaining space and trust in the cycling world. But people still confuse a Chinese brand with a Chinese copy and this is what Magene is making clear: They are a good brand that can compete with any other well-known brand. I will share my opinion once I receive them.
Thanks! I'm trying to figure out a new set of wheels now for a bit better crosswind stability. (I live by the beach) I currently have a set of the Hollowgram R-sl 50's & have been looking at staggered depth sets. The main contender so far is the Scribe Élan 4250-d, (you don't have a review in the works do you?) but this seems like another one to look at! Thanks!
Joe, thank you for your time spending with me! I haven't ridden nor have plans for Scribe, yet. Sorry, I can't help you steer one way or another on Scribe. If you follow me on Instagram, reach out to me and I will make a suggestion for ya FWIW. Thanks and have a great day, sir!
I am a really big fan!! I am curious if carbon spokes make a wheel too stiff to handle well cornering?? A weak hypothesis would be...like in MTB a wheel that is too stiff can loose traction during cornering, can this also be true on the road? Maybe for these wheels?? I am in anticipation of your ride reviews. Thanks for all the hard work, your fan, tailwinds to ya, Carl NKC
Hi Carl!! Thanks for your time watching and the kind words left on here. Although I kept saying how I would keep my opinions to myself in this episode, I will at least answer your question - I personally (your mileage may vary) did not notice any issues cornering. That said, I don't know how much the aero spokes really helped themselves in terms of bringing aero gains. The rims are good, spokes are good, and the stiffness overall on climb not a bad set at all. At about $899 I think these would be a sweet buy in my opinion.
@@DiabeticCycling Dear DC,, WOW! The personal response was TOTALLY AWESOME. I was a fan before.... Now I love you!!! But in a heterosexual way. Just as a side note, the price I saw was approximately $1300 (maybe a different model, I will review the details). Probably still a sweet buy. Many compliments and keep the rubber on the road, gravel, or dirt.... Carl NKC
I can’t the freehub off mine. Won’t budge. It’s meant to pop off. Great wheels otherwise. However, if you can’t remove the free-hub to service bearings etc, then they’re absolutely useless.
Hi! Thanks!!! Strava, I keep that private, even my riding buddies are kept away from it :) I appreciate you stopping by especially hearing from someone who also struggles with glucose and insulin!
LOL sorry.... I am such a n00b I forgot to weigh them, nor did the sound check. Probably because I personally don't care for the freehub soundcheck myself. But I definitely should have done that since everyone loves that bit. I learn. I won't mess up next time. :)
Tim, thank you so much. I am a victim of my own wrongdoings paying dearly later part in my life with diabetes, type 2. Appreciate you spending the time with me! Thank you.
I recently purchased the Cycplus Cube but I didn't see your review on it beforehand and thus didn't use your link. I am so ashamed :-( Please forgive a brudda
I normally enjoy all your videos because you offer your personal opinions based on the vast number of products you have experience with. But today's video was very disappointing since the core of what makes your videos enjoyable was completely left out. It felt like the only thing you provided was reading of Magene's specifications and a vague thoughts on Chinese wheel brands. The conclusion..."These wheels don't suck, but I won't get into how good they are compared to the big brands."
“I cannot tell you if I got any kind of special treatment” 🤨 This isn’t a review, they just paid this man to bring awareness of the brand. Which actually does the opposite of the intent.. if this guy can’t even compare them, I really don’t want to know anything further about em.
Hi there. 10000% valid in your observations, and I appreciate you dropping your thought here. I was trying to be careful not to make this a review episode as me coming on here with a wheelset provided to me at no cost citing how these are the greatest wheels ever as that is the very ethos I am against. Matter of fact, the sole reason I started this channel is to provide an audience with nothing but 100% thoughts and opinions. This is also the reason I haven't accepted product offerings by many companies who either offered me products or small fee to produce something for them. Once such an exchange is made, my presentation for you to accept me as being objective is out the window I completely recognize. I did this one and Cycplus pumps only because I saw value in making my viewers be aware of products I felt reasonable, and some money saving codes for those are actually interested. I am here for my audience. I do not need to make a dime off this channel, I make plenty of money with my day job. What was a service to my community, I agree with you, that it may have come off with a different context despite positioning the episode as a demo showcase not a review. I will need to make distinctions more clear going forward. Thank you so much. Negative or positive, I appreciate your sentiment. And I certainly hope I didn't lose you. Take care.
Hi Rob. Thanks for stopping by and leaving your words. This isn't meant to be an excuse but I did try and say how this episode wasn't a review, more a demo showcase. I also was not paid anything other than the product offered to me to show to my audience. In terms of comparison with other competing brands and products, I will be coming out with that in a separate episode later where my thoughts and opinions can be sprinkled in. Due to this being a demo showcase episode, I tried my best to keep my thoughts to myself as me rambling on about how great something is when provided to me would have zero substance to the audience. I completely get why you said what you said, it is the very thing I was afraid of putting this together. I appreciate your time regardless, and hope to see you around again. Take care.
Hi Zach. LOLOL I know, right??? Well, that's what they provided and I was just sharing with the audience. Hopefully when my reach is greater and audience larger in the future, companies would offer me to share something more substantial. Meanwhile, they didn't have to offer anything at all, so I'm still grateful. Thanks for your time spending with me sir.
This video just doesn't represent what I felt this channel was about and why I tune in here. David Arthur already does a boring spec sheet read and shill, don't need more of those. Hope you ditch this format and get back to what you do well.

Batman! Always pleasure hearting from ya! At $1199, still seems a tad high if you ask me all things considered.

Missed it by an hour. 2nd!😀
Nice review.
Appreciate you knowledge.
Thanks, Alpha! I appreciate you not only taking the time to watch me rambling on but taking the time to write this. Appreciate it very much.
I can’t the freehub off mine. Won’t budge. It’s meant to pop off. Great wheels otherwise. However, if you can’t remove the free-hub to service bearings etc, then they’re absolutely useless.
Love your work a fellow diabetic. Left a follow request on Strava
Hi! Thanks!!! Strava, I keep that private, even my riding buddies are kept away from it :) I appreciate you stopping by especially hearing from someone who also struggles with glucose and insulin!
@@DiabeticCycling No problem thanks for your reply. Looking forward to your next episode. Greetz grom Spain.
Nice wheels. No freehub sound test?
LOL sorry.... I am such a n00b I forgot to weigh them, nor did the sound check. Probably because I personally don't care for the freehub soundcheck myself. But I definitely should have done that since everyone loves that bit. I learn. I won't mess up next time. :)
@@DiabeticCycling 😁All good. Still a great vid. Keep it up!
Great channel - Whether you have Diabetes 1, 2 or no Diabetes at all
Tim, thank you so much. I am a victim of my own wrongdoings paying dearly later part in my life with diabetes, type 2. Appreciate you spending the time with me! Thank you.

your discount code is minimum $999. ouch!
