3:01 I like how manufacturer still make innovation such as brake surfaces in wet condition. Theres still hopes for the rim brake instead of just "want a better brakes? Change the whole bike and get the disc one" kind of innovation
I got a pair of Superteam all carbons like a year ago for $700 1400grams a pair 50mm deep. Love them. You should set them up tubeless or with some AliExpress TPU tubes. Significant weight savings and much better rolling resistance than the old rubber tubes.
They look great! I have a set of carbon fiber wheels on my rim brake road bike with the same etched rims from Light Bicycle and the special compound pads. They stop very well. The pad compound is pretty soft so you will go through them much quicker than standard pads, but it's well worth the performance upgrade. Enjoy the new wheels!
Put a set of elite wheels on my bike back in August. Biggest difference for me is how nice they roll. They replaced the original wheels that came on my 2011 Specialized Secteur. Put new tubes and tires on at the same time and trimmed 2.7 pounds off the bike weight. Braking performance is definitely a place they lack in comparison to the alloys they replaced.
Good question ! Assuming they don't self destruct, these cheapknockoff brand Chinese wheels will need frequent service and parts are almost impossible to get.
Fascinating to see so many comments bemoaning Chinese wheels. But they do not drill into the carbon spec versus ‘western’ brands when they do, nor seem to realise that the ‘western’ brands are primarily middle men with the Chinese (Xiamen, I believe) factories that make ‘their’ wheels. Nobody in the mass market is moulding carbon in Europe or North America. My own carbon wheels are ‘western’ branded (bought in super discounted sales last year) but my next set will be direct from China unless I see a super special discount again! So this video is useful. Thanks. I also notice that Vel (the Sigma in house brand) seem to be discontinuing their wheels, given how few are now available on their website. My guess is that they have chosen not to try to compete with the direct from China market given that they are a ‘value’ brand. Of course, there will always be someone happy to pay £2k+ for a ‘high end’ wheel set just as some people are happy to pay £10+ for a ‘high end’ bike!

Yes they are if you get deep (50mm or up) ones! So much faster then shallow (amulinum) ones!
To increase the brake perf, I advice you to set up a Darkpads carbon wheel brakepad. They are designed to cool down faster the rim than a normal carbon rim brake pad, and have better brake performance. It's a French brand that makes Makadamm Wheel set as well. Should have a look😊 enjoy the rides ! Merry Christmas to your family and you! 🎉
Those old wheels were budget Shimanos that were expected to be ditched by a discerning owner straight after purchase and kept for winter use and abuse. Nice free upgrade but properly built Mavic or DT Swiss rims would give a perfectly good improvement. Obviously the carbon Tech and tubeless tyres are now improved and optimised after a few years so they are a sound investment even if the Aero aspect is irrelevant for most cruising riders.

Yes an upgrade on the original supply wheels (what wouldn’t be) and do have fun on them but not necessarily a go to for everyone, so relatively new entrants to our sport…..do your homework 🤔🧠.
The thing about rim brake carbon wheels that scares me most is the heat build up and delamination potential on longer descents. Rim brakes work fine, but so do alloy wheels.
@@danieloneill4575 Yet...but then some of the older ones are actually safer, as they used a lot more material and often templates recovered or stolen from legit brands that used the cheap labour. Also, these wheels probably used a reputable carbon fiber supplier, albeit the lowest quality, as the Chinese knockoff CF was as common. So your wheels are probably heavy, like wobble and have shit hubs, but at least they are less likely to delaminate. Hardly a bragging point🤪
I had a shocking experience with Hunt 50mm carbon wheels on my Tarmac. Literally no brakes in the wet, despite having carbon specific brake blocks. Ended up selling the bike and getting disc brakes. Hope these are reliable and safe for you.
Most people use the brakes too much on the road... a good rider learns how NOT to use the brakes, especially in a group. In a group the use of the brakes can cause problems, using the the natural wind resistance to slow is a skill.
Hi Bikespeeds i really enjoying watching your videos. Can you do instruction videos for beginners? How to shift correctly, adjusting derailleurs or tuning wheels for example.
Thanks for your support, we don’t currently plan on making how to content, so many people do it we don’t think we’d ever be able to stand out and grow!🧡⚙️
I've got many sets of wheels and I honestly can't find much difference amongst them. I'll stick to the reliable aluminium wheels for superior braking. People are practically throwing aluminium rims out so I have a lifetime's supply. I suspect only racers can find any differences and I am long past my racing days.
I bought a budget set of DCR carbon wheels, same hubs and spokes as their alloy build, and despite being ever so slightly faster, they were so uncomfortable I went back to alloy.
@@Quizmate1 Cheap carbon wheels often tell a lot about the rider, and how unmechanically savvy they really are. A good set of CF wheels with reliable hubs may be a small upgrade, but most buyers of Chinese junk do it to look fast, and do not understanding the risks and reliability issues they'll face. Part of the blame though, goes to unscrupulous social media influencers that do paid reviews. On the other hand, good quality aluminum wheels, especially, on rim brake bikes, are the smart choice for 99% of riders. For example, DT SWISS makes some great AL wheels and have bullet proof hubs, that even if they ever need service or repair, can be taken care of by any LBS. The wheels this reviewer put on his bike aren't worth the cost...and they're free 🤣
Those std alloy rims are heavy but far lighter are still available. I guess carbon is the in thing, not keen on big decals on rims. Nice enough wheels but I'll stick with my aluminum rim brake wheels.
GP5000 aren't really anything special anymore. Lots of tires with similar rolling resistance and weight exist now. I say grab whatever you can get on sale at that level. GP5000s are pretty overpriced.
@@pastelink6767 Let's just disagree there, as the original GP5000 are the benchmark, the new S version is even better and now you have AS version were the 35mm tyres has one of the best wet grip for road bike tyres, but like I said, they work both for hooked & hookless rims, so no need to find any other tyres ;)
Another reason why I am glued to my mobile phone while I am at work. Keeps me thinking, time for another upgrade to my trusted steele road bike. Keep cranking videos like this one!

Superteam make great wheels - I would ALWAYS recommend their products and I run two sets of them myself - but What I will not recommend is carbon wheels for rim brakes. In the wet its terrible - even worse that normal rim brakes and over time the WHEEL wears out = there is not getting past replacing a WHOLE WHEEL. That is just plain ridiculous and any rim brake enjoyer would do well to avoid that, For disc brakes a wheel upgrade is a good idea (tho better tires is always more economical).
I don't know what the problem is with carbon wheels and rim brakes. I've been riding my Fast Forward in the Austrian Alps for at least 10 years. Everything still works like it did on the first day.
@@michaeldeutsch9631 So if the wheels are engineered properly and made with authentic and high-end carbon fiber (none of which is true of the cheap Chinese knockoff sellers) and the pads are correct for the wheel surface, you don't use latex tubes, etc. etc and you aren't a big rider and/or decend fast, and you don't ride in damp conditions, then you might not have exoeienced a problem. But it is a real risk. My father drove a car without seat belts, airbags, antilock brakes or snow tires, for 50 years and didn't diee, but that didn't make it safe or smart. He was just stubborn and a bit of a cheapskate. The same is true of rim brakes on carbon wheels...but rim brakes and cheap Chinese carbon wheels is just a whole new level of stupid.!!
@@roberthenri9945 That's why I don't use cheap parts (Campagnolo, Roval and Fast Forward) but I've never been gentle with the wheels. I just don't understand the religious war these days about discs and rims. I ride both. I've never had any problems with either discs or rims.
Your bike looks awesome 👍🏽. I have an Elitewheels set with the same braking surface and it always turns heads when I brake. I had to replace the bearings within a year (10.000km) and put some SKF bearing in them and they are better than the stock ceramic ones it seems. Carbon wheels are THE upgrade to any bike.
Those wheels aren't an upgrade at all unless you're riding at very high average speeds, it doesn't look like you are riding at the kind of speeds where they'll be any performance benefit.
