I just stumbled on this video researching HED wheels for the first time. Thanks so much for the detailed information! I was blown away to see the amount of truing right out of the factory for these wheels and wasn't aware of how much HED backs up their wheels since this is really an investment. Also appreciate the Whisky rim tape recommendation. Thanks for recording and sharing this! Your feedback was extremely helpful, George!!
I'm shopping for upgrading my wheelset. Man I'm really liking how you were impressed by these HED Literally I never anyone knock that brand. I'm prolly gonna a dig a bit more before locking in for a purchase but man those wheels are what I'm looking for those rim brake as well as nice deep carbons HED hubs are also beautiful. Man so awesome thanks for the review and video! Daniel
Hello Daniel! Thank You for watching! Let me know when you’re ready and we’ll get an order started for you. Please subscribe and share this video with your friends. Cheers
Awesome review on these HED wheels! Just subscribed, I’m looking to upgrade into aero wheels and will now look into these. Frustrating though seeing that another commentor said they are back ordered until November?
Looking at hed Belgium plus rims now for a 28/28 3x build for rim brake CX, local riding on mixed surfaces, and future gravel events due to the use of wider tires works better with wider rims to a point to replace my worn alloy clincher wheels.
Thank you for the information! I Just got some Jet+ 6 and I found that the front wheel was ever so slightly out of true (rear wheel seems perfect). I'll need to get one of these SW 16s to true it. How do I make sure the bladed spoke stay facing the right direction while doing so?
6:53 I show a typical type of spoke holder tool. I probably will do another video on the different tools needed for truing wheels in the future. The tool I reference in this video has 4 slots to accommodate the most common wishes of spokes. Thank You for taking the time to watch and comment on the video. Please give a new guy a sub 🙂 cheers!
Hello Rubio! Thank you for taking the time to post a comment. Just to be clear the wheels your friend is selling you are they the Performance level or the Black? The Black version are $1499 new so yes $800 sounds fine depending on their condition. A season for me is 10,000 miles so you need to really examine them thoroughly. Alternatively, buying a new set from me will give you a 5 year warranty and peace of mind. Keep me posted...
George I hit a pothole with my Campy Zondas. Need to either fix it or get new wheel. Do you have a website to purchase these Hed wheels? I am in Rancho Cucamonga.
Hello Andy did you need a Campy version of these? I have a wheelset in stock but they Shimano. Here is the site! I can check if they can send me a Campy free hub www.revendurancesports.com/hed-cycling-hed-jet-4-black-wheelset.html

I've had a pair of HED Ardennes wheels on my Pinarello for 10+ years and they are still perfect.

Yes unfortunately they are back ordered until November 😢

Hey George,
I just ordered this wheel set from your site. Do I need to use carbon brake pads?
Hello Rubio! You did? Wow thank you for the business!
You won’t need carbon brake pads. These are alloy rim brake track!
A friend is selling me a set for $800 used for one season. Not sure if it’s a good price. What’s your opinion? Jet RC 4 rim brake.

The only problem with these wheels is that they are backordered until November.
Indeed! The story of my life as a bike shop owner during COVID. So many great products I can’t get for my customers 😭
