Yes, bought 38mm road wheels from Carbonzone.Paid with PayPal. Delivered to country NSW in 2 weeks. Packaged boxed very good. I think customs pocked a small finger size hole in the center of the box to put a camera in to have a look. At the Post Office the box was sooo lite the girl asked me what was inside, because big box sooo lite. 3000 klm and more, now 4 months of rough and potholed roads. Riding 4 or 5 days a week and racing on the weekends. Are these wheels good? No,...they are Fantastic... rolling sooo good, aero like cannot imagine. These wheels are magic. But I am short and light 55kg, but I treat them rough. My bike does it all from Cafe rides with the old blokes, racing at home and Gold Coast, hills, mountains, long rough country rides every week. My bike does it all, even to Woolies shopping and out to the beach for a swim. Everyday Carbon I call them. No bullshit, they dont hang on the wall in the garage, they are on the bike. Did the research, got the product. Very Happy. Cheers.

+ozesalsa Great to hear ozesalsa !!

[@ozesalsa]

6000 ks on the Carbonzone 38mm wheels, still going super strong. Ride everywhere on these wheels. Over the grass, dirt, potholes, anything that these rough country roads in Northern NSW has thrown at them, and still riding to Woollies for a bag of groceries. A friend bought a set of Zipp second hand wheels and soon pulled a spoke riding these roads. Only have one complaint, I really like the Continental Ultra Sport Tyre, but have found them super super hard to get on these wheels. Both folding and wired tyres are exceptionally difficult to get on the wheel. Any thoughts on this. Thanks.

[@stevenleffanue]

+ozesalsa Great wheels! If you need to fix puncture on a ride,tight beaded tyres will not be pleasant. Better to find an easier fit tyre...theres plenty to choose from these days. If you insist on the Ultra sports,try using talcum powder or soap n water to fit them on....perhaps well rounded steel tyre levers too.

[@frvnkmvlik3034]

@@ozesalsa how are they now?

[@ozesalsa]

@@frvnkmvlik3034 Sad to day that the bike, Felt f5 , 48cm, was stolen about 3 years back, but i had put 40000klms on it, and about 35k of those on the Carbonzone wheels. All was going very good. Bike looked and rode fantastic. Now i ride an Airwolf carbon Chinese frame A$650, with some super cheap Chinese wheels and Ultegra running gear. Built the bike myself. Great bike, aero, very fast, even with fat 28cm tyre on the back n 25cm on the front. Rough roads here. Very nice frame, incredible finnish. The cheap wheels do break the heads off the spoke nipples occasionally, but they come with spare spokes n nipples. I just change myself, pretty easy. Wheels cost me A$350 the pair, on sale. Not complaining, no way. Just done 20000klms on this bike, would be crit racing but for Covid and now the wet weather. Buy everything online, do everything myself. DIY kind of guy. Dont like bike shops much..lol. But the Felt from the shop was a beauty. Sad. Hey, have fun, dont waste money on all that expensive crap. If it brakes, buy another one, who cares...lol.

Thanks Mate. Your feedback is similar to what we read in Thailand about reputable sellers.

[@MrShoji5150]

Most American company has manufacture in China. So made in China is not bad as most people think, if the product was supervised with high standards. Even made in USA product has cheap quality sometimes... just be careful about fake brand products...and technology in China is growing, so at certain level, it doesn’t matter in which country the products was made from anymore as long as product meet certain quality. And company save the cost, and consumers can buy at cheap prices.

hi Oz pls tell me what to do:) ...i ordered 1 set of carbon wheels from ali...60 mm ...and at the rear wheel....every time after a ride...1 spoke get loosen....every time...the same spoke get looose looose so before i get out to ride...i have to true the spoke again....i ve changed the bulb of the spoke ...guessing is damaged...but whit a new one ...the same problem....after around 30 km ride...the same spoke get loose again what to do? some advice? tnx

Clean the thread of that spoke then add a drop or two of loctite on the thread....that should hold it. If others come loose you just do the same to them.

[@LeoInterHyenaem]

May I enquire where you bought the Look copy frame with an integrated stem? I believe, the video review you had of it, is no longer online. And if it's worth having. And more on the topic, are the aerodynamic carbon rims compatible with dynamo hubs (such as, the SON 28 or the Shutter Precision, of which there are the 28, 32 and 36 -spoke versions) - or does the lacing pattern not permit for the use of the hub dynamo? Of course, the carbon wheels you are showcasing, have only 20 / 24 spokes, but surely there must be heavier-duty ones with more spoke holes. Just as importantly, certain lacing patterns (such as radial) are not supported (or at the very least, not recommended) by dynamo manufacturers. Then, there's the question of reliability: I weigh between 85kg and 125kg (damned be my insatiable appetite and sweet tooth!). Even when in shape, I have somehow managed to break quite a few spokes and wheels (from 20" Rolf and Kinetics to a 26" 32-spoke Mavic 317 to 28" rubbish wheels) without ever trying to. Upon the other hand, my Shimano XT rear wheel, acquired in 2011 and installed in my Cannondale Caffeine F1 (converted for touring - with slicks and a rear rack) has withstood uncanny assaults by my 95kg butt + 30kg worth of luggage on continental bike tours as it ought to. Spokes: are [Chinese] aerodynamic spokes as tough as Sapim's best and the triple-butted DT Swiss Alpine III? Thank you lots for the anticipated reply.

[@stevenleffanue]

The Look MTB videos are now on Vimeo... vimeo.com/206181901 Yes you can order carbon rims in any number of hole drillings. Most carnon rim weight limits are 110kg. I recomend Pillar wide blade spokes,they are very strong. Hope this helps 😁

Hi Steven, I was wondering how the experience of replacing spokes on that wheel set since there is that SAT with no holes on the wheel. I just bought a pair too, thanks to your review.

[@stevenleffanue]

Hi Bryan. Replacing spoke is easy....use the existing nipple. If nipple needs to be replaced,use a thread of cotton from nipple hole to valve hole. Slide new nipple along thread to the nipple hole. I should do a vid on it hey? :)

[@stevenleffanue]

Hi Attila. For general rides with a few hills also,it would be best to buy according to your weight. Light rider=smaller section rim.Heavier rider=deeper section rim. My other video on"carbon wheels" has a handy chart you might like to consult.

Do you have any advice or recommendations on carbon road handlebars? I bought a set of 'faux' 3t Ergonova Team carbon bars that are gorgeous and seem to be prefect, but I've been warned off of them by a shop who probably wants me to drop 400$ on a pair through them. Thanks for the reviews!

[@stevenleffanue]

+sortedtales Do you mean 'fake' 3T ergonova carbon bars? If so,some copies (fake) are quite good with no problems....all depends on who makes them. Some copies would not pass a safety standard. If unsure about the manufacturer,dont risk it,buy genuine 3T bars.

[@wassiliwohlgemuth4591]

@@stevenleffanue exactly! That's what's putting me of a bit.

Also, CSC use Novatek hubs, which are nice hubs according to your Test-Video and Superteam use their own "superteam R7" hub. Should that be of putting?

Hubs are rarely a wear issue , its usually the carbon braking track...once thats gone need to rerim or new wheelset

[@wassiliwohlgemuth4591]

@@stevenleffanue I see... and would you say the durability of the braking surface improves with the price of the wheels?

[@michaelaspden1732]

There is an old saying, buy cheap buy twice. I bought 50mm carbon wheels from yoeleo, within six rides the front wheel cracked around the valve hole making them useless. The rear wheel hub went so stiff it was not safe to use. I contacted yoeleo, and after watching my video said they would send me a front wheel rim which I had to re build using the existing hub and spokes.I would be charged for shipping, then I would have to pay import duty on top. I had to pay £70 import duty before they were released to me. They also said they would send me a new rear hub, but I would be charged for it. My local bike shop said they would not touch Chinese wheels. You takes your chances , I was the unlucky one. There is a reason why you pay so much for proper wheels. I am now left with two useless wheels. The lady at yoeleo was very polite, and returned my e-mails strait away.

Hey Steve, just subscribed. Thanks for your videos. Could I get your opinion? I'm doing a build up for a steel bike that will be used for training but specifically for ultralite touring(1-2weeks/few hundred miles of road/unknown quality surfaces) carrying 215# me, plus a 10-15# backpack + 5-10# handlebar bag. Do you think carbon, let alone, any of the chinese carbon wheels could hold up to the test. I'm thinking it's more about numbers of spokes than carbon strength. Any input would be greatly appreciated JS

[@stevenleffanue]

+jzimmt Carbon rims are very strong but not so forgiving. So when carrying weight is involved you would need wheels that have more give than a race-ready carbon rimmed set,otherwise you may end up cracking the rim. Alloy rimmed wheels may be the better option for you . Much can be said about wheel performance : construction. Your best option would be to find a reputable wheel builder and discuss your options there. All the best....Steven

+PlantBasedPedalling I just spoke to Katrina,100kg is just fine. When ordering,tell them you spoke to me (Oz cycle) about this...we will all look after you.

what you think about the Super team carbon wheels....?

[@stevenleffanue]

+Jesus Cisneros Hi Jesus...who is the "Super team"? ....sorry Im prolly not up with the absolute latest news on teams for 2017.

[@jesuscisneros2555]

Its a Chinese carbon fiver wheel for road bicycle that is the name brand check it out on eBay

[@stevenleffanue]

+Jesus Cisneros Thanx Jesus. I took a look on ebay. The seller has a few negative feedbacks (and that is only short term). Positive longterm feedback is good to consider but it seems there isnt much on these wheelsets yet. Perhaps you could try them out and let us know?

[@abedfo88]

Im currently toying with the idea of buying Superteam wheels. Some good short term reviews on Amazon for them. They look cool with decent decals too. They come with Powerway r36 hubs, Are they any good?

[@dandurlle9339]

[@Japonsk01]

Greetings!! How is your Carbon Wheels from Yoeleo going to date?

[@stevenleffanue]

+Jaime Due Hi Jaime. The Yeoleo wheels are still fine. A 10,000km review is coming up in about 1 month.

[@Japonsk01]

Is that the SAT Carbon Wheels version? If it is how do you replace spokes & nipples? Thank you

[@Xukaiwen2]

I've had my Yoeleo 50 wheels for a year now, put in over 5,000km on them. Still true as the day they came, still rolling fast, and after I went with upgraded brake pads, great braking.

[@tomnickdelonge1]

what did you get from yoeleo? 3k 50mm clinchers?

[@stevenleffanue]

Yes 3k, 60mm,SAT clinches

[@tomnickdelonge1]

+oz cycle I'm so close to buying them.. any more advice before I do?

[@stevenleffanue]

+Nicholas Hutchinson Not really...Yoeleo are great to deal with. Just state the details for your wheels....hub type and colour.10 or 11speed. Spoke type and colour,etc,etc. Dont forget prices are usually in $US . Mention me and they should do a deal for you too. Enjoy your new wheels :)

[@tomnickdelonge1]

+oz cycle Thanks! what do you think about integrated carbon bar and stems? the on on yoeleo looks great.. or carbon stem and alloy bars. I'm more of a hill climber.. less sprinter

[@stevenleffanue]

+Nicholas Hutchinson as long as you never want to adjust stem length : (

[@tanmengazmil]

Hello I m interested in getting a carbon wheel set which would u recommend ? I m a 90kg rider and I like to climb ..

[@stevenleffanue]

+Limza Nat Set of Yoeleo 50mm carbons will do you a treat Limza.

[@tanmengazmil]

oz cycle wow thank you for the fast reply.. Den about the hubs do they have a ceramic bearings option ?

[@stevenleffanue]

+Limza Nat Yes if you want to go ceramic....check out their site or email them...they do very quick service

[@tanmengazmil]

Thanks mate.. Btw why 50mm not 38?

[@stevenleffanue]

+Limza Nat If your 90kg,50mm will be a stronger option than 38mm. You can check out the chart on the video "carbon wheels you need to know". I will post it on the Oz cycle facebook page too. :)

[@Stevens_Images]

Can you put up a few links? Thanks

[@stevenleffanue]

any Links to the vendors of these carbon wheels . thx

[@stevenleffanue]

[@havefunandbikestuff]

Hi oz. Checking to see if you would respond to comments. Thx.

[@stevenleffanue]

+TheGreen Cyborg Yes....as much as possible. Sometimes comments comes in bundles and its hard to keep track.

[@havefunandbikestuff]

oz cycle oz i enjoy your videos and message. Keep up the great footage! Wish you had some cx or gravel content as well. Anyhoo, 👍👍

[@stevenleffanue]

+TheGreen Cyborg Yes,sorry I dont do any cx riding, mountain bike or road.

[@simonpruitt9544]

Anyone have experience with the carbon speed cycle wheels?

[@xavi3002]

Hi Steven, watched your videos with interest, I am looking for a treat with carbon wheels. I have an endurance bike (Specialised Roubaix) and do rides in finland on road with average speed of 30km/h. I tested a set of Ursus out of price wheels (Miura T47 Team Edition) and was very convinced by what it brings. You think I can get same perf from a set of Yoeleo C50, with DT swiss hub and Sapin spokes? By the way, I am a 85-90kg rider. At 750€, it's still half price compared to the first, heavier, European set (Supra wheels). Thanks for your upcoming advice! ;-)

[@darrenmorley7453]

[@gregmartin6888]

I have enjoyed using these light bicycle deep dish carbon wheels kzbin.info/www/bejne/imWpd4ugqp6DpMU One thing I have found both with these and my reynolds is the the braking is shocking in the wet. Can' wait for more choice in the disc brake aero wheelsets

[@harrytucker8066]

7 months on, any regrets?

[@stevenleffanue]

Hi Harry. The wheels are just fine. In fact I use them on both bikes ...my genuine zipp404s are getting dusty in the corner of the room...just dont use them now. Im 79kg and quite rough country roads we ride on here. Definitely reccomend these wheels :)
