[@theillegalimmigrant9314]

what kind of agreements do wheel companies make you sign?

[@Hambini]

They usually want you to say nothing shite about the brand. I don't think that is honest reviewing so I refuse to sign them. They send the wheels anyway because the exposure might be worth the risk. It doesn't always go well though, ref Peak Torque and his elite wheels, me and the ascent etc. On a more sinister note are other youtubers. I make bottom brackets and a few of them want bottom brackets for free. One youtuber even had the audacity to claim that a view on his channel was worth €500 and that's how much he charges others for viewing on his channel.

Pro triathlete here… I don’t have have a wheel sponsor and I am on a super budget. All my wheels are Light Carbon wheels. Road and Tri bikes with DT Swiss 350. I have 45, 50, 80, and disc wheel. I have had ZERO issues with any of the wheels and enjoy training and racing with them. The cost most definitely made me skeptical but after 3 1/2 years of use. I can say with confidence that they were more than justified and the price was unbeatable.

Awesome review as usual!!!!!! I use Scribe wheels. Very happy with them. But on my new build I'm using Zipp 303s. And my reason for that is I want a better warranty. These wheels remind me of the Scribes "probably great" reliable, cheap. And would be a great winter trying wheel. My only reservation here is. They could send a reply nice wheel for review. And be SHITE later on. So I went Zipp which compared to Scribe was $100 bucks more. But for $500 this wheel is a banging deal!

[@kidkarbon4775]

Zipp service and warranty is terrible. I had a set of wheels that were recalled due to the hubs being made of chocolate. The wheels disappeared for months on end before they were returned to me. Neither me nor the LBS were informed of where they were, or given an ETA we simply had to wait.

Single MTB track included. I also bought another similar set from Carbonda to keep road tires on and the carbon hoops had near identical markings and labels on the inside. I wonder if all of these hoops are coming from a standard supplier.

[@luzzyrogue]

Hello Hambini. From one Aeronautic Engineer to another, I have got this idea about minimising pressure drag on old round frames that forces us to keep up with the market and buy shite bike. What if the surface is roughed, increasing more turbulence hence delaying separation of flow (Baseball effect). Can't we add a lightweight plastic (sort of glued or attached) well painted at the end of the frame to increase the tail of the airflow hence reducing vortices. Let me know if my ideas are shite or not. I have run some couple of simulations on Ansys for the first method and I got a 20 percent reduction of pressure drag at the back of the wheel

[@bigshnitzeljesse]

I'd bet that was the method used in early prototyping for aero frames, the bonding of tails that is. Sounds like it would merely be fun(possibly eye-opening) experiment, and not really a marketable idea. It might be better to fully surround the round tube with small dimples in the material front section where most effective. I'm not schooled in aerodynamics, but why not have some fun trying to improve something you already own? Homebrew aero experiments have shown excellent results with cars and motorcycles. I'd build a semi-enclosed body for maybe a Suzuki Burgman if it wasn't such a suicidal rig alongside distracted drivers these days. Ugly golf ball dimples and all

[@luzzyrogue]

@@bigshnitzeljesse I thought about it alot. I am desperate to experiment the change on my alloy Al3+ bike with round frame. I can still ride about 50kph with it on a false flat, but I can really fell the drag and its definition. For all of those with access to wind tunnels, may be this could be a game changer. Try to see the size of the holes and the separation it will make.

[@sylvainmichaud2262]

There is a lot of money to be made in the "entry level racing" and training material by offering this kind of equipment at this price point. This segment has been neglected for years by the major brand. In order to be successful in this niche you have to have low production costs to maintain a reasonable margin, cut all the middle men and go for higher volume at a lower price. Look at how many wheelsets coming from the Far East that have been launch in the last three months with a direct sales model. My guess is that in ten years from now, the "traditional brand name" will either have heavily target the upper niche market to maintain their profitability, we will also see a continuation of the consolidation of the manufacturers (mergers, acquisitions) that we have witnessed in the last 10 years. Just look at Shimano who has already decided to drop the mechanical 105. I know shimano that is making cheaper groupsets but, it's because of their quasi monopole in the oem market of the lower end of the spectrum.

I can think of one budget brand in the country whose cheapest carbon wheels are USD $1500.00, and their alloy wheels are USD 400.00. And they're all relatively heavy for what they are. ProX basically blows the entire range out of the water. Based on your findings, I hope that American cyclists discover ProX, because they seem like genuine good quality for the money.
