Sir it's because he's not consistent in uploading videos but all of his video are very well informative especially about these super budget bike parts where Americans would disagree with him for using such Chinese Carbon Bike Parts even those who lives around Europe and Asia would disagree with him.
That.. is one short turn time to make a quality video. Luke suggest you test a product longer before a first take on it. Some of the junk goes south pretty quick.. as you come back and note... AFTER you create a ?(smallish) purchase wave.
Awesome Luke. I love the fact that you focus on quality/ value for money rather than branding. It's obvious that there's some great carbon coming out of China , but for most of us the manufactures are an unknown quantity. With that in mind, your roadtests are much appreciated. I'd have to say these wheels look very, very tasty ! Keep up the good work, and keep safe.
For bearing removal you really should be using some blocks or a larger diameter tube directly on the hub, thereby removing any shock forces to the spokes and rim. By doing it the way you are, you are exerting rather large impact forces on the spokes, as well as very uneven lateral forces on the wheel. These bearings came out easy as they're new, but if they were old and had not been looked after, the bearings could be a bit stuck and this could over-stress the spokes or even cause deformations in the rim.
Let's just appreciate the level of detail and work you put in to this review. Top work. Serious time and effort. Can i ask what lavalier mic you use? Is it wireless? Cheers!
Dude, thank you so much, that def means a lot coming from you! I wish I could have tested the stiffness in the same way you did with the Winspace wheels, but i assume as they use very similar spokes, they will be in the same ballpark. But yeah my mic isn't wireless, I just capture the audio separately using a cheap lav mic from Amazon and a cheap tascam.
Nice review Luke. I appreciate that you put a lot of time & effort in the reviews, with time stamps for each segment. I bought the Winspace Hyper 50mm wheel set with carbon spokes (same style) about 6 months ago and I really love them. You notice the stiffness when get up and sprint, but also just cruising on the flat is a dream. Just take care with the spoke tension, I had a spoke come loose as the carbon spokes don't stretch like the steel ones, so can loose tension under compression (e.g. high tyre pressure). I had mine re-tensioned and thread locked - no issues at all.
love this channel, love the content, the attention to detail, trace velo should blow up 100 fold in subscribers to be fair. I hope you'd get more exposure and more audience and sponsors could find it
Top man Luke, after finding your channel last year I went and built a budget Chinese carbon myself for ballpark a grand (great way to get to know your postman). It can hold its own no bother with fast road groups on branded 5K upwards bikes.
Sitting here at the end of October, waiting for my 15mile commute in 6 degrees of torrential rain and dreaming about that country lane, drenched in golden sunshine.. Great vids, thanks 👍
@@TraceVelo literally overnight, although been quite lucky til now I guess. I still enjoy the ride though, even coming home at 4am in the winter lol.. thanks for putting such effort into your channel 👌
Another good video I just put a pair of Farsport wheels in my gravel bike. 1360 grams the pair and they look fantastic. Cost delivered was about £475. Very pleased I am.
Anyone else. Get giddy when you see you have a trace velo video waiting to be watched 😂 I genuinely squeeked then did a little foot shuffle... I think I need to get out on the bike more
Every time I watch for your videos, my wife asked what is going on because I laugh so loud, she can hear me upstairs, BTW Hello from Seattle we share the same crappy weather
An absolutely outstanding review , thoughtful , very informative and I believe honest . I would without reservation purchase these wheels and other items Trace Velo has reviewed and has recommended . Above all I love his humour , my only complaint is duration I have to wait between his reviews . Excellent work😀.
Bought two pair of Farsport wheels in 2021. Excellent experience. best value for your dollars related to weight and stiffness of the wheels. Love the fact that you can choose your preferred hubs. Just need to be a bit patient in waiting for them to arrive. Thanks for the video, just missed the discounts... 🙃
Great rim's, thank you for the time you take showing us the quality of the product. And I was out of pop corn does help with my drooling over this tasty looking rim's. Very nice video. Will be looking for the next one, from Texas....
Great channel Luke! Just a humble suggestion, when tapping out old bearings try to support the hub on the opposite side so you dont put stress trough the whole wheel. You will probably not need to tap as hard as well. Very entertaining and informative stuff you post!
My only complaint is I'm not getting a freebie set of these wheels! I have "her" indoors to try to sneak anything past that costs big £'s even with the excellent discounts! Finally another excellent production Luke, was waiting seemingly for ages, keep em coming Pal they're class!
Just awesome video Luke, this is the only channel that ive been continously watching in order. Awesome job. Like someone else said below, to add to it, do you have a silicone grabber/pot mat or whatever object made of rubber/silicon? That would be much better choice to use when you need to hammer the hub than a shirt because you want to dampen the rough shock and deliver the force as a gentle pushing energy instead. Thanks for the awesome content as always.
These videos are so well made i am surprised you dont have atleast over half a mil sub. You are an absolute fun guy wish we could ride together but for now, dont change! Also make some vlogs of your solo and group rides if that is feasible for you :D
Luke! Great review! Not in the market for Carbon wheels at the moment, but you have definitely put Farsports on my radar. I’m running Easton EA90 SLX rims. These are super light and I definitely felt the “snappy” improvement when I used them the first time. IMO, lighter wheels are faster to accelerate, but harder to keep accelerated. It’s that old law of inertia. So, over the whole ride, you expend the same power between light and heavy wheels. But there is nothing like accelerating, and I definitely feel that more with lighter wheels. Keep up the great content!
Hi Trace, love your witty videos. Was wondering if you were planning on making a video about Ali gps sports trackers anytime soon. I've tried to find a review but can't seem to find any... Sure you could make a great money saver video on that topic. Anyway stay at it!
Hey Luke. Nice and very details reviews. MAKE VIDEOS MORE FREQUENTLY! once every month is not enough! Just in case you run out of ideas, how about some cycling sunglasses? You done bottle cages, pedals, bibshorts, jerseys but not Hat and glasses yet.
Love your videos, and please continue with the great vids! Yes I agree cycling shouldn't be an expensive sport and really like how you review cheaper Chinese made alternatives.
Thanks Mr Trace, Lol. FYI these exact carbon spokes are also used by Cadex, Hunt & a few other brands. As you specified, only a custom made hub will accommodate these spokes. These wheels are very stiff & combined with a lighter weight, make them feel snappy (I love my carbon spoke set). Possibly the reason why they are better at handling cross winds is the lower spoke count. Personally I love the road feel compared to steel spokes. Enjoy.
duuuudeee your videos are so great! I don't know if it's because of your time budget or whatever, but i definitely recommend shorter videos. Whilst many of us watch your entire videos, many new viewers are probably put off by the length. You definitely deserve more viewers. cheers mate, you're an absolute legend!
Yeah you're definitely right. After spending AGES on the edit for this one, I realised that I need to make shorter videos. But thanks so much dude, really appreciate the comment!!!
Fab vid, increased my knowledge and made me laugh. Top marks, as ever. I'm still rocking rim brakes on my nearly new carbon endurance bike (£650 on Ebay) and am pleased to note that my new Novatec Jetfly SL tubeless wheelset tip the scales at 1,335g and cost me £374. (Total bike weight now 7.7kg) I've since seen them for £351! So until carbon wheels become lighter and cheaper, or until Northumbrian hills get smaller... Oh yeah, dude, you can get a rubber mallet for £3.99 at your local Screwfix.
OHHHHHHHHHH good question!!!!! I didnt think of this. I guess it could be if the seal between the spoke and nipple was loose enough for water to ingress. But they are SUPER tight, and I've not seen anything to suggest this is happening. I will def keep you posted if anything changes tho...
Love the reviews, not to serious but good and informative, myself and my partner both ride road bikes for fun many parts from China ( Aliexpress) so far no real issues. Keep up the good reviews 👍
OZ CYCLE, love your videos!!! So its not actually a wireless setup. It's just a £30 lav mic from Amazon, plugged into a Tascam DR-22WL which is in my back pocket. I capture audio separately, and then sync it up in the edit. I'd like one of those rode wireless setups, but I dont think I need it just yet. Nothing fancy here Steve 🤣
@@TraceVelo Thanx for reply Luke. Good set up , you got it working good. Yeh , good audio and cameras are expensive 😬 . Hopefully one of your videos mite go a little viral and pay for want you want. Cheers
Another supreme video. On look out for some wheels and these look the ticket! They look stealthy and will need to be good at stealthily avoiding my other half’s attention!
LOL! Yeah there are pretty premium, but then again when stacked up against the big brands, they are prety astounding value. But dont worry, we'll be back to ROCK BOTTOM prices soon :P
Great video. In the comparison I appreciate the comparison to name brands. I would also like to compare these to other models from Farsports like the Kaze models (similar to your old set but now the disk version). Also compare them to other Chinese popular like LUNwheels and to your other wheels. I also appreciate a lot the maintenance and repairs details you give, as I plan to be a long terms purchase and your reviews offer this information. You mentioned that you found these wheels stiffer and a bit less comfortable. The fact you are using 25mm wide instead of the larger tires you had before might be an explanation. Cheers
I've always enjoyed your videos, and this was no exception. However I think you strayed from what makes you unique with this review. The price of this wheelset exceeds the entire cost of your first Chinese bike build. I LOVE reviews of the AliExpress cheep parts and hope to see more.
Not so relevant to these relatively more expensive wheels but I’m always impressed by your trust in tubeless wheels. I have a cheap pair of unbranded wheels, admittedly a lot cheaper than those & went for tubular because I didn’t trust them to make a rim that didn’t delaminate at an inopportune time. I’d like to try tubeless but like saving money & really cheap tubeless scares me.
Yeah i guess this is a fair concern, but i've had 3 sets of tubeless wheels (all from China), and have never had any issues with the tyres defalting, or popping off the rim. Unless you REALLY hammer the brakes on a tubeless rim brake wheel, i'd be surprised if you faced any issues. Conversely i'd LOVE to try some tubular rims, its just the cost of the tyres that puts me off tbh...
Stellar work mate, thanks again for such an insightful review! I know I might be going against popular opinion here, but how about trying a chinese carbon track bike build? We get to see a lot of carbon track frames pop up on the bay and elsewhere but there aren't many in depth reviews around them.

Quantity is not clearly synonym of quality... keep going Luke. You are the "bargain" man 🤣
@@TraceVelo He he.
My biggest complaint about this channel….not getting a video every week! Every video is top notch.
He would upload more often if Aliexpress shipped faster!
I think the quality makes it worth the wait. I save watching these videos for when I need to improve my day.

No shirt stains this time! Production quality 11/10
I'm clearly not trying hard enough... Next time i'll have 2 stains!!!
Awesome Luke. I love the fact that you focus on quality/ value for money rather than branding. It's obvious that there's some great carbon coming out of China , but for most of us the manufactures are an unknown quantity. With that in mind, your roadtests are much appreciated.

Another quality production, I think we need to see a Chinese carbon gravel bike build soon!
Yes! This!
Nah, titanium gravel makes more sense.

Can we start a just giving page to get Luke a rubber mallet 😆

These spokes seem to be the same ones which are installed in winspace hyper wheels. The are also "ST-01"-marked. ✌
A set of 80-90mm deep wheels with these carbon spokes could be the real answer to a nice stiff setup

Would love to see a review of cheap but good AliExpress / eBay bike lights.
"Charlie slow down!!" Charlie: "Nope you got me up on my day off!!" 😆
Yes I’d buy them as they are “TASTY!”
The rim holes are also to allow pressure to escape the rim cavity if the rim tape fails in tubeless setup.
The placebo is real with this one. Also, the increase vibration and harshness costs major watts and induces fatigue.
Tell that to all the people in the tour riding Lightweight wheels...they seems to be able to handle the harshness.
Although you like it, no criticism from here. Luke you are awesome.
Love the English roads with the raised hedges/stone fences etc.
😂 glad I'm not the only one who uses Kelly's for storing bike bits and lunchboxes
Is galvanic corrosion a concern at the spoke/nipple junction?

Maybe the next stop would be a sort of fancier cranks and chain rings for bling, I am sure that Chinese folks got you covered :)
