INSANE Performance/Value Carbon Wheels : The *new* HYPER 2023 from LUN / Winspace

[@SignorLuigi]

"You're kidding, right?! No, they're yours. I give it to you." BEST LINE EVER! Such a beautiful gift and gesture! The world can still be a wonderful place. 👏👏👏❤️

[@CharlesOuimet]

Thanks my friend :)!!!!

[@ricecrash5225]

Great you gave them to a friend. Nice touch and hopefully made Bruno feel a little better about his crash.

[@CharlesOuimet]

he made it out very well!

[@thisisthewayguey4371]

Lovely Video, I have the 2020 Hypers on my Bike and no regrets whatsoever. They have been very Reliable so far, and they have assist me in reaching 20mph average on my regular 38 mile rides which includes long flats and high grade hills so they are pretty decent even for Climbing. Thx for testing the new Gen Charles, I will for sure Upgrade them once I find a Good candidate (friend) to donate my 2020’s… Saludos!

[@ZwiftDude]

Not much difference between 38 and 50 tbh

[@masher1042]

Love your review. So glad Bruno is ok. 🙏

[@CharlesOuimet]

Thanks!!

[@fredericstol4144]

Wow, c'est la première fois que je vois les effets d'une chaîne qui casse, c'est impressionnant quand ça décroche les pédales automatiques et cause la chute

[@EndUser-yu7gg]

I think I am going to replace my chain when I get my HYPER wheels in a week or so .... gosh that spill looked horrible damn -- TROOPER! ... I laughed when you spoke about damage how you went to your wheel first before your buddy though... come on you can always get a new wheel, but a friend is irreplaceable.

[@pierrelifengli]

Would love to see that chain wax video!

[@CharlesOuimet]

yaaaaa!

[@bugabutu]

Hey Charles I'm thinking of building up a Winspace SLC with the hyper wheelset using your code. Wanted to ask: Which headset can I pair with the SLC? I want to buy the lightest ones from extralite or cane creek.

[@iamshing1989]

Thanks for testing! I will get those wheels set with new chain😂

[@CharlesOuimet]

You'll love them!

[@frankfazio]

At least Bruno was ok. And the bike too!

[@CharlesOuimet]

YES goods thing he made it without too much damage

[@frankfazio]

@@CharlesOuimet you know now you have a problem. If we cycle together you'll have to give me you new wheels because the 2020 are gone. :)

[@cricrimc]

@@frankfazio you need to give him a nice thumbnail shot for that! :P

[@TrickyTree84]

That tubeless tyre coming off the rim is fucking frightening. I can't unsee that

[@fVNzO]

So, he crashed because the chain snapped which made him shift the center of mass? It didn't look like it was due to the tires or hitting anything on the road?

[@Pauleuh]

yep and the twist/pressure caused the front tire to flat/leak it's sealant.

[@CharlesOuimet]

when the chain snapped, he suddenly went from 80 RPM to what, 200 in a micro second? this completely shift body bass and caused to flip over the handlebar

[@fVNzO]

@@CharlesOuimet yep, that's a freak accident. I've only had a chain snap once due to it being poorly maintained, on a rusty city bike. Never on a road bike. Really unfortunate. Very cool you got a video of it as well so we can learn from it.

[@wagwanyute]

@@fVNzO learn how? its look new chain that got snapped. seems like a lawsuit to me

[@hopfag6555]

Sick wheelset, approximately in Canadian dollars, do you think a pair would cost around 1700? And how’s the shipping

[@CharlesOuimet]

they are awesome! My best friend just purchased a set of D67 Hypers. With my code ''charlesouimet10'' in total was 1534$ CAD and only 33$ of duty fees!!!!

[@CharlesOuimet]

Shipping took less than 2 weeks

[@hopfag6555]

@@CharlesOuimet good to know about the duty fees, do I directly get from the official website or do I need to contact an American retailer (us)

[@CharlesOuimet]

@@hopfag6555 I would order directly on their website, duty will be paid at the reception of the wheels FedEx/UPS. As mentionned, only 33$ was paid by my friend! Still a huge bargin for the quality of the product agaist what you'd have in your local bike shop for that price point

[@joelguerin-simard3415]

you know you got a good kick when you snap your chain like this!

[@CharlesOuimet]

ahah yes

[@goodcompanycoffee]

Hey Charles, did you have to pay duties or taxes shipping to Canada?

[@CharlesOuimet]

Hey! Sometime yes, sometime no! But it's always under 60$ :)

[@goodcompanycoffee]

@@CharlesOuimet Thanks! I'll also message them directly too. I'm in ON. $60 is reasonable, didn't want to get dinged twice for taxes and duties. I'm looking at Hyper SE for $900 USD which is great value, but if I have to pay 13% tax and 13% duties I might as well buy mainstream brand locally.

[@CharlesOuimet]

@@goodcompanycoffee yeah I never had 13% taxes. Winspace decrease the declared value to lower custom fees

[@goodcompanycoffee]

@@CharlesOuimet I appreciate it, I will use your promo code :) Also tried out MyVeloFit so I appreciate your content

[@HarishChouhan]

I'm joining ironman next year and was thinking of getting the new Hypers. Do you need Air compressor for setting up tubeless tires? Also, how is the comfort level on these wheels?

[@sbccbc7471]

If comfort is what you want in a carbon wheelset, HYPERs are not the best choice as the carbon spokes ramp up the wheelset's stiffness, to the point some riders will say it's too stiff for them due to the lack of compliance.

[@HarishChouhan]

@@sbccbc7471 Thanks for your reply. I ride a aluminium bike (Trek Emonda ALR) so was a bit concerned that combined with a stiff wheel might make it super uncomfortable. I'm 70Kgs so not exactly a light rider. If you have used these wheels, can you let me know if the road vibrations are very noticeable with them or just a bit?

[@CharlesOuimet]

Air compressor is not needed for tubeless, but sometime yes. It depents on the tire/wheel combo. Comfort wise, I'd say it's all about tire choice and pressure. With your aluminium bike, I'd say you'll be fine with the hypers, just go for 28 or 30mm tires setup around 60-75 PSI, you'll be golden!!!

[@HarishChouhan]

@@CharlesOuimet Thanks mate. For 28mm tires, do you have any recommendation? I'd likely go with inner tubes for now. Also, the PSI you recommended is for tubeless setup, right?

[@CharlesOuimet]

@@HarishChouhan Yes tubeless allows lower PSI for increased comfort since you can't pinch flat a tube!!! Depending on your weight, I'dd add maybe 15-20 PSI, so in the range of 75-90 should be good

[@Davido0013]

Hi! 🙂 Maybe u could help to decide what brand and which carbon wheels should I get? My rides are ussualy 30-100km with 100-400 meters of total climbs, so pretty flat. I think I should get around 45-50mm deep wheels? I could buy new zipp 303s from local shop for around 700 EU, or it would worth to spend around 1170 eu for Windpace hyper wheels? Or maybe something else? Also prefer louder hub sound as there where i live many pedestrians walking on bike paths and i dont like bells 🙂

[@CharlesOuimet]

Can't go wrong with the Winspace 45! they'll look good, make noisy hub sound and be super fasssstttt! discount code "charlesouimet10" will gets you an additional 10% off their wheels :)

[@nicolasremillard3491]

Salut Charles! Peux-tu me dire quel model 2023 et 2020 vous avez testé? Également, est-ce que les hubs sont inclus dans le prix des roues? Est-ce que mon bike shop va me dire 'on a pas ce qu'il faut pour compléter tes roues'?

[@CharlesOuimet]

Salut! Les roues viennes avec kes hubs, deja monté et balancer , prêt a rouler 🤗 20 000km sur les hypers original sans maintenance et maintenant 2000km sur les 2023, elles sont mieux!!

[@nicolasremillard3491]

@@CharlesOuimet Merci pour l'info!

[@DanTuber]

That was a nasty crash. He could have broken bones. Did the chain snap at the quick links?

[@CharlesOuimet]

yeah man! the chain snapped in the middle! not at the quick link

[@robotversuscyborg]

I'm buying the lun Hyper, I'm planning to get the 2020, the bike I'm putting them on doesn't have the clearance for over 26mm tyres and at best I'm a 30 kph guy. Do you think that's the right decision? 🤔 Great video as always

[@CharlesOuimet]

i mean, you'd keep up with other people easier that's for sure with these wheels if you come from very basic wheels !

[@lemonshire1]

not to ruin it but the different tires/tubes/tubeless (correct me if they're not) could account for most of the saved watts, but it's certain the wheels saved watts too as you said though, not science!

[@CharlesOuimet]

As shown here, both tyres are VERY similar, probably same factory...! PSI both at 80, both tubeless :) www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/road-bike-reviews/compare/mavic-yksion-pro-ust-2018-vs-pirelli-p-zero-velo-race-tlr

[@johnnyboy4711]

[@CharlesOuimet]

[@brandonposer3026]

If the wheels were so aero, wouldn’t it require less power to go the same speed not more?

[@CharlesOuimet]

we can't rely on speed data here, wind changes through the two hours of testing. in a velodrome we could use speed as a data :p

[@rroof14]

It required more watts from Charles to keep up after the switch. So that makes sense. First run was slower at 300w. Speed increased so he had to up his wattage to keep up.

[@linasrakauskaseuexport8264]

​I must be missing something, but why to order from China ( I have no issues with made in China at all, well done China) when you can buy for example Hunt wheels at almost the same price in UK and you'll get: sales support, warranty, spare parts, supporting local business... and much more.. hassle free purchase.

[@bewg10]

That much power plus a sudden reduction of all resistance, would probably cause you foot to unclip, hit the floor, and the rest is in the video
