I Updated My Race Wheels...

The Freehub is the DT Swiss design which is now out of Patent.

[@pierrex3226]

I know quite a few OEMs. Peter from Xiamen Carbon Speed can do a similar set for 50g more, 50/50mm, 33/34mm wide (26 internal), for a FRACTION of that price... He OEMs for names we all know, but i'm not allowed to tell :) And legend has it, N6 is rebranding rims from FarSports...

[@ThomasHubik]

28mm internal width is out of spec for a 30mm tire according to E.T.R.T.O. ! I'm not sure it is worth the risk. Tire nominal width /max rim int. width 23 / 19 25 / 23 28-33 / 25 35-37 / 27 40-45 / 28 These are already upgarded in 2022, earlier it was much smaller! On this case, u either use a 40mm or bigger tire with these rim, maybe some endurance bike is capable of taking such, or u use a 25mm inner width rim with these tires.

[@abcxyz6880]

isnt etrto just for hookless wheels?

[@ThomasHubik]

@@abcxyz6880 No it regulates both. Actually it regulates cars, trucks, planes etc. I think nowadays they r the same. Before 2022, u couldnt mount a smaller then 28 mm tire on a hookless wheel, but maybe it was a couple of mm wider (if i recall right 20.5mm?) then the 19mm hooked for 28 tires.

This is beyond silly, making a video and talking like reading cards ,DT Swiss hub and design everyone knows , big talk for a brand no one has heard about, 28mm internal is for tires way wider

[@ThomasHubik]

@@eto2352 I'm not sure it is still true, enve makes hookless wheels, there are less regulation for such, and their width number are comply with the 2022 etrto. Beside both wheel manufacturer sell their own tires and makes a compatibility list, so use one of those. But one thing is sure, if its outside of the spec, the tire manufacturer will not take any responsibility, if anything goes wrong. Enve and Zipp might take, a new brand in China? The speed advantage here is like within the error of measurement, why take even 1% risk?

[@georgehugh3455]

Not sure I agree with your first statement _"you get a little bit more aerodynamic performance if the rim is deeper on the BACK wheel."_ The FRONT wheel has clean air (compared to the rear) and would absolutely benefit more from having greater depth, but it's also far more prone to the effects of wind and gusts while the rear can tolerate far more side forces.

[@noamharari2409]

Absolutely agree with that.I think that If you want to have some aero-savings, try to run the front wheel as deep as the weather/ wind conditions “allow” you, without feeling the cross wind gusts.

[@KelvinSuddith]

But you do get aero savings? It’s just not as much as if you had a deeper wheel. That’s why they still run disc rears in TT. Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought he was saying it’s more aero than having an equally or more shallow wheel in the back.

[@vaporainwaves]

Pretty sure you did not misunderstood. I haven't tested it because I don't have those CDA thingys. Theoretically you are right. But I will say, it looks nicer with shallower in the front. So be it.

[@petersouthernboy6327]

No, it’s the opposite reality, OP. The clean air in the front can successfully use a shallower rim because boundary layer attachment is less important. The more turbulent, dirty air in the back benefits more from the longer attachment time of a deeper rim. Also, the front wheel will benefit more from the rule of ”105” than a deeper rim section.

[@dutypaidrock]

It's possible the thought just wasn't very well articulated. What you could interpret from this is you can get away with putting a deeper wheel on the back even if you can't/don't want to put one on the front as it'll be less affected by cross-winds and add an element of aerodynamic gain, rather than assuming you have to have the same depth front and back, giving away some watts (whatever that is or means).

[@chiefrocker12]

Have the same pairs, recently shod with GP5000 28's, and front measure at 34mm and rear a little over 31mm. The level of confidence in corners is very obvious. Also, on the flats, and maybe its the bladed spokes done right, hey seem to carry speed easier than my previous aero wheels (60/55mm depth). Best upgrade for 2024. Great review !

[@GiorgioCamozzi]

The star ratchet design is just the standard dt swiss star ratchet, no magic... also with the pawl design it is generally possible to have a way higher engagement then on star ratchets, because the teeth can only be so thin before they brake. With pawls you can have multiple pawls engage staggered (so not all at the same time) and achieve very quick engagements (que i9 hydras, que other problems but that's not the point)

[@DDai-qd8uk]

Might be time to try the new Reserve 42|49. I'm sure Mike's Bikes got you covered!

[@clas683]

Wide inner widhts and tires are great in most cases but you must also consider traction while cornering. You need a good tire profile/shape with plenty of rubber and also not risking being on the side walls.

[@joelguerin-simard3415]

That freehub design is everywhere now, dt, mavic, envee, those are the ones I know, there are probably a few dozen more that work like this now! Very easy to maintain and change parts

[@JamieMMac]

Hey Jeff, thanks for putting this information out there. I"m seriously considering purchasing this set through your link. I love your videos and impartial perspective on everything. Your impartial perspective is why I watch your videos... plus their entertaining. Thanks! I'm currently riding a 2022 Pinarello Prince with Reynolds AR41xdb wheels that weigh 1600g with tape. They measure 21mm internal and 30.5 external front and rear. I had 30mm Continental GP 5000 STR on both ends... and then switched my front only to a 28mm tire to stay close to 105%. My 28mm front measures 29.6 on my 30.5mm wheel, and my 30mm rear tire measures 31.3mm in the rear on the 30.5mm rear wheel. I used a trustable set of digital dial calipers to measure everything. I'm thinking this might be a real upgrade to my bike and how I like to ride. I'd like 30mm tires on both front and rear with no aerodynamic penalty, with the primary benefits being maximizing traction and stability within possibility. On the North side of Atlanta we have constantly rolling terrain and some twisty roads. 1. Will the lighter weight of the NO.6s be noticeable when accelerating on rolling terrain? 2.While this NO.6 set is lighter do you think it will be more stable / stiff for bombing the hills and confiedently taking the turns? I love taking my bike a little farther north in GA several times a year, to the steeper foothills and bombing the switchbacks as fast as I can, while pushing my speed boundaries. I'm not afraid to pedal down the hills and carry as much speed before braking into the turns. 3. I weigh 200lbs and ride about 100-150 miles a week. I'm also curious what you think about the stability of this set overall for my weight, and the durability of carbon spokes relative to what I'm on now...and for being my 1 wheel set to do everything? Thanks Jeff!

[@JayLato]

Their 30/30 wheels weigh 1,091g as I weighed them with tape, no valves.

[@PatrickLino]

I'm running 30c GP5000s on my pair. The confidence plowing over bad pavement is next level.

[@NorCalCycling]

This is the way. After training on them for a couple weeks I decided to race on them with the same setup, one crit and one road race so far, they've been spectacular.

[@No.6Works]

Wait till you try tubeless!

[@peko6411]

People are saying that bulky front rim is more aerodynamic. In fact bulky front wheel is a bit less aerodynamic! But it is better for cross wind stability. I´m not sure if such wide front tire (Jeff measured more then 33mm) is good for riding uphill if I stand in the pedals or for sprinting. I think you will feel the front tire very squishy and unstable. That why Specialized made their Roval wheels front ext. 35mm/but int. only 21mm and rear ext. 30,5mm/int. 21mm. I would like it if Jeff made a video how the wide tires behave in racing conditions. Thanks.

[@gbhamm17]

To add to intrigue I’d love to see how these perform against your other wheel-sets you own. Joe from China Cycling did a nice comparison with the CRW’s vs. Roval. Something comparing to name brands was great to see! I like the Reserve wheels set up you chose. Good comparison!

[@JaredGant]

Hey Jeff, now that they have a 50/58 option, would you recommend those over these. Why or why not?

[@markusseppala6547]

28mm internal front 24mm back, I know it's more aerodynamic somehow but most of the weight is on the back wheel so I would prefer it to be as wide as front. Profile of those 30mm tires looks surprisingly good on that wide wheels.

[@lolbubs11111]

Yeah the narrower rear profile (and needlessly wide front) puts me off. I'm just looking for 32-33 external and 23-24 internal. But most brands are making 28 external 21 internal, with some rare exceptions. LightBicycle's Turbo is probably my current favorite rim profile but their carbon spoke hub design doesn't secure the spokes from the side.

[@kestralrider313]

These definitely have my intrest, the weight and width combo puts them in their own category, the fact that that rear is narrower is weird, but as a former crit racer myself, I used to run a wider front tubular because we believed that it was more important to keep the front tire sticking in the turns and we could accept less grip in the rear. As an old guy, I now prioritize comfort; I can't believe I used to enter races on 18-20mm clincher tires in the 90s.

6:30 star ratchets can fail as well. Don't be overly optimistic or in better words: don't talk marketing. The star ratchet is probably the best design but it also requires maintenance (luckily very simple thing to do), and I could again talk for hours about my Campagnolo body pawls never having failed on me, but that's because they're made to last a lot longer than that chinese rubbish aluminum pawls, and, above all, because I did some maintenance on them.

And now 1 million dollar question: best carbon wheels with weight around or less 1300g for the RIM brake? I can see lots of options from the brands for disk brake, but less options for rim brake.

[@No.6Works]

Limitations are at the calipers. Current tech has maxed out for carbon rims for rim brake unfortunately.

[@serendipityrecordco9380]

I went with the Drive D50v’s in ultralight configuration paired with GP5000 28’s tubeless at 60psi. They observe the 105 rule with the 28’s in rim and they are about as wide as my Ultegra rim brakes can handle

[@pierrex3226]

email any OEM in China, they still crank these out no problem. Farsports (Windy), Xiamen Carbon Speed (Peter), or Yuanan, just to name 3. The last rim set i got was from Farsports last fall. A Farsports cockpit won the olympics so please dont assume you're buying trash. Ask for at least full T800 carbon. For simplicity you can ask for sapim cxray spokes.

"standard bladed carbon spokes" lol

[@NorCalCycling]

Kinda wild right? Never thought that would be the new standard for performance carbon wheels

[@janwillemkuilenburg7561]

Not correct. The tire-rim interface is more aero if the tire sits deeper in the rim. In this case probably 28 mm tires instead of the 30 mm. See the tire-rim transition on the CAAD System-6 with their propriatairy wheelset that was tested extensively. The tire should have the same shape as the leading edge of the rim to have the least disturbed airflow; in this case of 30 mm the tire is more bulgy than the rim.

[@benhardwick1970]

That’s not true at all! I have magene wheels with 32mm tyres on. Mine have 30 external and 23 internal and they sit pretty flush. Maybe I’m a 1mm out but it’s a fraction if anything. You telling me a 30mm tyre with a 34 external and a 28mm internal is going to bulb?? That tyre is obviously sitting so deep in the rim. You could run 34mm on them before and still not lightbulb

[@janwillemkuilenburg7561]

I cannot say anything about your setup without seeing it. What I meant about what the video shows is that they should not 'just' be flush. As far as I can see in the video is that these tires deliver a more bulgy profile than the leading edge of the rims, which is sub-optimal. Ideally the cross sections of tire and rim should be equal. Most rims have a more narrow edge.

[@trentvlak]

really bro your special freehub is just that vanilla DT design we've been using for decades. I don't like them because they are loud and have higher drag than pawls. My cx bike has the Onyx Vesper, totally quiet and instant engagement. Shame I can't build them with those high zoot carbon spokes.

[@borasumer]

Better, how? What is better about them?

[@konnichiwa7154]

You are wrong about the grip. A tire has better grip as it has higher pressure on the contact surface. Wider tyre -> wider surface-presure distributed on the surface. As a result, you can see how pro riders are literally slipping during cornering at high speed.

[@shawnnong5999]

You are wrong about the grip. Per Pacejka tire models, If riding on pitch based asphalt that 99% of the western world drives on, increased width adhesive forces scales greater than your loss hysteresis traction. So a wider tire will yield higher net lateral grip.

[@TESTA-CC]

I've ditched tubeless & Sealant & Carbon Wheels. I've changed my Race Wheels, Gone Back to Aluminium Tubular Wheels because there lighter I can higher pressures for better rolling resistance with tubular tyres. 28c 25c are the Quickest Tyres on Every Test Set up I've used. The moment I went over to 30c tyres using tubeless and sealant my times were well down.
