what carbon fibers they use to build the rim ? there are some companies from china with very high quality that produce this wave shape and build wheels with sapim cx-ray spokes and dt180 hubs for 1/3 - 1/2 of the price... with fibers T800 so, are those rims actually better or it is just marketing, decals and company brand ?
@45 fottuto stronzo yep, people are so gullible. These resellers put a label with an esoteric name and some shitty graphics and charge 1000s more and people buy this crap thinking they are in some exclusive club. LOL Veblen Goods. Some things ARE worth the money but carbon bike frames and rims are not. A hand welded Moots truly custom titanium frame costs less than some of these china made carbon frames. I paid less for my 1 previous owner Honda s2000 which had doubled in value than what some of these knuckleheads are paying for these bikes.
I guess if it means the difference between 1st place and 2nd or 3rd place, it might be worth it. But if you’re a pleb like most of us, it’ll just be for show.
any advice on which hub to choose? What's the practical difference between all the different hub choices? Loving the gold wheels, now i want a set for my ride.
I have a 2018 Trek Emonda I'm looking for a wheel upgrade over the Bontrager Eolus Pro 3 Rim Brake only I'm willing to spend up to 2500 US dollars. What would you recommend? And does that make sense to spend up to 2500 on a rim brake bike that cost $3100 just for wheels? Thanks
So windtunnel test done by jumbo Visma show that some vision wheels are better then these they tested 18 wheelsets that other teams use for the best outcome. Aerocoach was also better
Yea send the link. I mean I don’t doubt it but also, I don’t trust a lot of those wind tunnel test results, just my personal opinion they are a company testing there own wheels and giving data proving there is better

And for the mont Ventoux stage je also rode vision wheels that where blacked out.
Stop hating on the wheel just because you can’t buy it, wheel looks great. If you can’t buy or don’t want to buy it just get over it and let the people to spend their freaking money however they want, you only live once. C’mon!
24 spoked and all cross spoked 🤔 Just heard the price, l have to agree with the comments, this price is a bit steep. For that money you can get some pretty sick wheels. By the way, exposed nipples are not as aero as a concealed nipple. For this price i would of expected concealed nipples. But will have to say i LoVe the gloss finish.🤩
Helllll no, non exposed nipples are a nightmare hardly any wheels have non exposed nipples anymore, the gains aren’t worth the hassle for wheel building or even servicing

Princeton Wheelset Prices are high way Robbery. Avoid Buying it. No wheelset no matter how fast they saying is, is worth Over $2000 , i chose Roval everytime. DT Swiss is better Pricing and is faster. Fulcrum 55DB with Ceramic Bearings is cheaper and way Faster than Princeton High Price.
rovals are always nice, princeton is expensive yes, they are the same price as zipp 454, but I mean you are paying for the look of it and also because they are so hot in the market right now
@45 fottuto stronzo ineos can use any wheels they want, but not campy n sram affiliate brand (bora, fulcrum, zipp) or still can use it but have to cover the brand. Coz they sponsored by Shimano.
@45 fottuto stronzo maybe it's made in China, who knows... Nowadays China got many domestic brands that produce world class wheels, like FarSports, Winspace, Vortex, n many more...
Come on,if u like cycling why have to spend such amt money n just speed ,then less sweating or what.then go for ebike..it really a stupid act...all idiot act. 2pcs things bring u to mars
I mean if you enjoy something and your into it and have the money to buy it because you like the look. That’s on the consumer, in every aspect in life there is always overly expensive stuff Thag people willing buy just because. Take bottle water for example. They have 99 cent water bottles and then they have like 5 dollar Voss water.
BS! just another copy cat with ugly decals and I can see Zipp filing a lawsuit shortly. Yes! it helps but at the end of the day its the legs that matters.
You need to slow down when you speak and enunciate your words properly. I know people like to speak fast as to appear intelligent. But it's really a stupid trick that is over used.
yea sorry man I am not trying to appear intelligent, I just naturally talk like that.... I am sorry for it, I have tried to work on it but its something I grew up with, also I get told I dont enunciate my words too btu I have alot of saliva in my mouth lol so thats the issue, its a small condition but nothing for me to bring up
I actually bought a set recently. They are SO sick, but I sold my house and I don't know where to live... But these wheels are so fast dude
I was going to say you can live in your car but you sold that when you bought your F12 frameset and Red AXS groupset
@@DaveCM no I never had a car to begin with. After I sold my house I had absolutely nothing left, so I had to rob a bank for the frame and groupset
I am so happy with my Hyper, I don't have to sell my kidney or heart. And still have car and house... haha
🤣🤣🤣 lmao
Who needs a house when you got them wheels! 😎🤣
When the wheel is moving that paint scheme is sick. Blur of gold whirling around.
it is an art peice
An all black (matte/gloss mix) set of these wheels would look so sick on my black matte cervelo caledonia..
They come in matte white, that’s the direction I’m leaning for my aethos :)
@@janemf yes indeed..I got rid of my cervelo caledonia a few months back and went w the 2022 s-works Sl7 tarmac..the bike is amazing..this my 2nd sl7 in just a few months..I had a 2021 dark matte green chameleon color 1st and now I have that lagoon blue with the stripes..im thinking about getting the Princetons and giving my CLX roval wheels to my daughter for her sl6 tarmac
For cheap options I prefer Buy Winspace Hyper Wheel based on reviewed by Hambini/Cham Nichols/Peak Torque....
yea of course but these are not cheap options
One wheel cost more than my allez sport
I’ve seen gum balls that cost more than an Allez sport
These are on par price wise with the Enve but the crash protection of the Enve is hard to beat
yea no lie enve kills it with there support for the wheels lol
Enve is hookless tho, no?
Love your all reviews mate. Great details and straight to the point 👍
thank you ken so much!!!

Great honest reviews dude . Love to visit your shop some day . Regards from Singapore
Thnaks!!! so much Richard I appreciate you watching and i hope one day u do visit :)
I like the honeycomb graphic but I find the big text spelling out the brand make and model number to be really lame.
Have u try the Chinese ones yet? They look very good interesting to see they spec's and performance... thanks
I have not yet, I have seen very little of them but I have heard of them
$3750 for a set of wheels that will not make you any faster than a pair of Yoleos. CYCLING IS THE NEW GOLF.....
indeed.....
Actually made me faster but not a lot
@@user-nu5fx6en9h no they didn't
At least make ur wallet lighter

These or the winspace?
hi, hows the rim brake surface?
I believe the same texture, I dont knwo for the gloss because i have neevr seen a rim brake version in person for the gloss version
I guess if it means the difference between 1st place and 2nd or 3rd place, it might be worth it. But if you’re a pleb like most of us, it’ll just be for show.
Yea of course. It’s more for the look
Too right and I will be going slow so everyone got a look at them.
Seriously even fro the top 3 place cheaper wheels will do the same 😅
Please how can I get in touch with you please
Send me an email gcperformanceyt@gmail.com
Didn't Zipp (owned by sram?) Wanted to sue Prinston for copying? What happened to that?
First thing I thought, look just like Zipp 454 NSW
Same thoughts, definitely 454 nsw looks
Zipp/sram lost the suit.
any advice on which hub to choose? What's the practical difference between all the different hub choices? Loving the gold wheels, now i want a set for my ride.
The weight
Hawt!!! Man that’ll look sick on my car!
May I ask you what is a warranty for Princeton wheels?
lifetime warranty
Hello and thanks for this review ! I've a SL7 sworks too ! Do you think that Princeton peak 4550 will really faster than Rapide clx ?
Unlikely.
Shout out from fort Lauderdale, great videos rich with details, keep them coming
yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
@@GCPerformance18 yoooooooooooooooooooooo
Awesome wheels !! I like the platinum color .
yea they have some of the slickest looking wheels out there
i wonder why they choose it over the zipp 454s
I have no idea, maybe they got the sponser place for them I do nto know
GC, lightweight or Princeton? Fav?
I havnt had to much with lightweight but I do like the look of Princeton more
Lightweight are the benchmark and have the carbon spokes whereas these are more like Enve and can be rebuilt
Stunning but pricey, now I see more value on the Tokyowheels than never.
they look nice though lol
I have a 2018 Trek Emonda I'm looking for a wheel upgrade over the Bontrager Eolus Pro 3 Rim Brake only
I'm willing to spend up to 2500 US dollars. What would you recommend? And does that make sense to spend up to 2500 on a rim brake bike that cost $3100 just for wheels? Thanks
go for these wheels in rim brake or the peak4550 thye are so nice!!!
They look very nice! But honestly if I am paying that much then I go enve. At least enve is 100% USA made.
Cool looking wheels , on the right bike they’d look so good, do they do a rim option ?
yea I have a build planned ofr it, and yes they do make every single wheel in a rim brake option!!!
That last SL7 build you did with those wheels was amazing
thanks so much!!! I have a plan for this build too
A wheel that costs more than my whole life, nice :D
hahahhaha stopppp
XDR or XD Driver?
xdr
Salute GCP súper número uno 🙏👍🔥🇵🇷💯

TRON wheels! Holy cow, those are super duper flashy.
Just as ridiculous as those OSPW from Absolute Black
hahahahhaha
Love the wheels.
personally i prefer the silver/chrome decal colour
I've been hearing so many hubs that they're all starting to sound alike to me...i guess im all "Hubbed out"...lol
24 spoked and all cross spoked 🤔
Just heard the price, l have to agree with the comments, this price is a bit steep. For that money you can get some pretty sick wheels.
By the way, exposed nipples are not as aero as a concealed nipple. For this price i would of expected concealed nipples. But will have to say i LoVe the gloss finish.🤩
Helllll no, non exposed nipples are a nightmare hardly any wheels have non exposed nipples anymore, the gains aren’t worth the hassle for wheel building or even servicing
@@GCPerformance18 wheel building and adjusting nipples is your job not my job lol. 🤣 I just ride!
28/30 feels like someone yanking on your shirt...lmao. too funny..lol
Reading all these comments, I was actually quite surprised how cheap these wheels are….only US$3750 each……but then I used to own a boat……
Sorry that’s for a set, seems like a bargain then
Ohhhhh baby!
I bet they’ll look sick with Gold errr Mango Chris King hubs… 🤑
to narrow for todays framesets
To buy these wheels and a new pinarello dogma f12, I'd have to take a 2nd mortgage on my house. LOL!!!
it's dogma F. And yeah it'd look great with the all black dogma
What are you waiting for? You have my approval!
@@DavidTodor Haha, Actually just got a Dogma F12, but i opted for the new DT Swiss ARC DB 1100. One amazing set of wheels for a great price.
Pros will approve anything that pays them good. Hyper wheels are as good as those wheels but pros won’t approve since no check. 💴
Talks....like a Used Car 🚗 Salesman 😂😂😂
hahahahh that is what I am going for, I work retail so it doesnt hurt my feelings
Makes me wanna try and polish my zipps. Hmmm.
hahahha that would be sick, go with some wet sand if you want too..... not telling you to though
Boom at 9.46 is the true reason why he think they are so good when he says. "I've spoken to the owner,he's a good buddy of mine."
So paid promotion.
...... shit I wish I got paid for it, In my line of work I meet alot of the companies owners some suck and some are good at what they do
lovely
Made by Farsports in China?
nope, these are made by them in house
new hype wheels XD
11:17 lmfaooo
Hahahaha obviously I was nice to them
Wow, $3700 but you get a wheel bag!!
No normal person can afford this stuff.
Pros only apparently
When money mean nothing?
Yes
money is no object in the world of cycling

@@chapmag6578 Nope I like what I have! I am nowhere near pro and will never justify paying that for wheels!

There is no such thing as a Pro and Choosing. They get to use only what their sponsors provide.
no filipo chose these wheels before they were sponsored by them, to be honest the team was running shimano wheels that year on the tour
