I upgraded to carbon wheels! Scribe Aero Wide+ 42Ds

[@grantmcalpine6364]

The KZbin algorithm brought me here and I am loving your videos. Great work.

[@MitchBoyer]

Thanks for watching!

[@tomimaanoja772]

Just found your channel today. You hit the nail right on the head. After a year of biking enthusiasm, we now only know more of what we don't know. Love the douchy drama also. Keep it up. Awesome!

[@noobtube7229]

you remind me of Tom Green, The Freddy Got Fingered film is one of my favourites, hats off for your natural content very engaging, you earned a subscriber, keep up the great work.

[@theatomic430]

This is an incredibly well done video!

[@PeterSdrolias]

I have a set of the gravel wide++ paired with tubeless Gravelking sks. These tires hardly ever need to be topped up with air even after several days of sitting. They are light and fast! Awesome value for the money!

[@JoelSzymczyk]

super happy with Scribe

[@matteo.borbonese]

I miss those roads in L.A. I really enjoyed cycling there, despite what people keep saying about the city, I used the bike a lot!!! So sad I'm not there anymore...buuu

[@craigwilliams9064]

I found this video while searching for Scribe wheels, and it turns out I already subscribed to your channel from when you featured photo printing videos. Thanks for keeping all your videos online. Great work as always on the cycling content!

[@MitchBoyer]

lol small world! thanks for the support ✌️

[@christopherbailey6566]

Ha love this. So glad to stumble on your work!

[@heilbuttious]

Great video as always! Thanks for the insights, as I'm currently also considering upgrading my alloy wheels. The weight of 1-2 common household chinchillas might make quite the difference when climbing.

[@MitchBoyer]

😂 it’s that 2nd chinchilla that’ll really hold you back

[@HarishChouhan]

lol "like a bell" :). I ride behind a mate in traffic as his free hub is this loud.

[@fredsimmons6341]

Nice L.A. River footage! I'm shocked I haven't heard you freewheeling along. Oh, maybe it's because i also have a set of Scribes and can only hear myself freewheeling along.

[@MitchBoyer]

haha nice! maybe one day we'll cross paths ✌️

[@jonathanwithecombe557]

So glad I've found you... you're a lot more relateable than other riders as you seem like a normal guy... plus I'm thinking of buying a BMC Roadmachine. Funny how a good set of carbon rims makes you feel as if you can go faster and completely changes your ride. Good work!

[@MitchBoyer]

Thanks, dude, appreciate it! It's really crazy how much they improve the ride!

[@Chiselrider2024]

Nice content. I have the scribe 32d wheels. Live in S.Wales and wanted a good climbing wheel. Super impressed with the wheels. Paired with Conti GP5000 fitted by scribe. So fast compared to stock wheels Love them. Freehub is loud, but just keep pedalling if you don't like it😆

[@EugeneTheMachine]

Really like your video Mitch! Man, that grease really works!

[@MitchBoyer]

Thanks, Geno!

[@robertmills6772]

Now the free hub sound and volume are of interest, just as the exhaust notes are for supercars. (I'm channeling my inner Doug Demuro.) Nonetheless, another wonderful video.

[@MitchBoyer]

Haha I read this in his voice

[@DanTuber]

Good vid. Enjoy the humour. Currently considering first pair of carbon wheels. That freehub sound....oh no!

[@MitchBoyer]

Haha, i totally get it. If you can get behind the freehub sound, they're crazy fast wheels. Thanks for watching!

[@leowdrums]

Great video as usual

[@ThomasBerumen]

Awesome video! Thanks for all the info! Really helped me select my next set of wheels! I’m gonna go for their Race Wide 👍🏽

[@MitchBoyer]

Glad it helped!

[@ASMRaphael]

Whoa, that was so supr epic and so wonderful to watch :) Excellent :)

[@MitchBoyer]

Thanks!

[@douglasjam]

Great content, greetings from Germany.

[@Ken419_]

And I'm subbed. See you 6 around Griffith.

[@MitchBoyer]

See ya around ✌️

[@ariffau]

Smashed the like button at chinchilla!

[@invalice123]

It’s nice to have a mobile Texas Chainsaw experience to be honest.

[@MitchBoyer]

😂

[@abuzahra1858]

I have bmc rm 01 three, with zipp 303s. For 50km with avg speed 35 km/h. This wheel very hard to hold speed.

[@rodrigocastro5976]

SCHUALBEH my guy. Nice vid.

[@quantumdecoherence1289]

New to your channel. Addicted. Great videos mate. Is that the Loop trail in Tucson by any chance?

[@MitchBoyer]

Thanks for watching! I live in LA... haven't been to Tucson, but I've heard the bike path infrastructure is fantastic

[@PatrickLino]

Great video kind sir! How long was shipping from the time you ordered, to your door? And did the import duty bill arrive later?

[@MitchBoyer]

Thanks, dude, love your channel! I ordered the wheels at the beginning of October and they arrived mid November, just over a month and a half later. The import duty bill arrived via mail about two weeks after receiving the wheels. Hope that helps ✌️

[@PatrickLino]

@@MitchBoyer Wicked, Thanks Mitchelin!

[@bertusbob]

👍👍👍

[@alynlambert4855]

I love my Scribe 50+ wide Aero wheels and saved a bit more than a Chinchilla over the Mavic Askiums that came on the bike. Do you prefer the softened sound? Thinking of doing the same as it is a bit abusive when freewheeling in group rides 😂

[@MitchBoyer]

I used to pack the freehub with grease every few weeks to quiet it down, but now I’m used to the sound and don’t mind it anymore. Cant speak for you group ride buddies tho 😜

[@ryanshoucair]

Great video thanks! Quick question, I want to buy the same wheels, and had the option of three different rear hubs, sram, shimano and Campagnolo. What was the option you opted in for? I loved the free hub sound check.

[@MitchBoyer]

My groupset is the Shimano Ultegra 11-speed mechanical, So I went with the Shimano freehub. Definitely wanna make sure you match your groupset and freehub. Also, the team at Scribe is super responsive, so if you send them a quick email with your details, I'm sure they'll help you out. Hope that helps!

[@mischabosch7126]

Hi Mitch, very nice videos about the BMC bike ! I have a BMC roadmachine too and riding the default wheelset. Had the change off wheels a big impact of ride feel, handling, cornering and compliance ?

[@MitchBoyer]

I 100% recommend upgrading! I've been very surprised by how drastic the difference has been (in a good way). It's now been about 3 months and 1700miles riding on them. They spin up much faster, and it is easier to maintain speed. Cornering confidence and compliance are even better better (but that might be more affected by the 28mm tubeless tires I am running). Some real world numbers: I have a benchmark climb that I ride every few weeks to measure my fitness gains. When I put the wheels on my bike, I had a massive improvement compared to my previous time 4 weeks earlier (6:29 > 5:55). Over 30 seconds! Some of that was likely due fitness gains (but I doubt I knocked over 30 seconds off my time in just 4 weeks). Hope that helps! Long story short: they make a great bike even better :)

[@jonpoon3896]

Scribe has an option for tires to come installed

[@MitchBoyer]

Yep! They were all sold out when I ordered, but looks like they have some back in stock now 🤘

[@perrymaizon]

I stalked all your videos and Even got the same bike …..now i also need new wheels? Fooooook

[@MitchBoyer]

😂😅 sorry (not sorry)! The wheels are worth it, I promise!

[@Ch3rry1991]

I am getting Scribe wheels just for the FO level of sound of the freehub. I want to be heard.

[@MitchBoyer]

You will be heard, don't worry 😂 It was a little annoying at first, but now I'm really loving the sound.

[@vivynrekha5680]

Hey if the wahoo didnt work why didnt you just connect the power meter and hr to your phone directly on strava and ride??

[@byrondixon4648]

Mitch! Love your style. Inspired to produce a new vid for my channel this weekend. So did these wheels help you find the meaning of life?

[@MitchBoyer]

Glad to hear it dude! The wheels are great, but I'm still on the hunt for the meaning of life 😅😂

[@npdcpa]

What other wheels were you looking at before you chose Scribe? I have been stalking a set of Hunt Aero 44s and they seem pretty similar to the Scribe right down to the wonderfully obnoxious hub buzz. Did you consider these?

[@MitchBoyer]

I looked at the Hunt 44s and a pair of used Zipp 303s. Scribe won me over with their customer service and warranty. No regrets so far!

[@dsonyay]

What is the significance of the 3 chevron tattoo?

[@dsonyay]

And good video

[@valerieen]

“Mitch-elin” 😂😂

[@MitchBoyer]

🙃

[@mosescortes9176]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 the tear affect

[@aldrinclementina4297]

1170 for one (42mm)front wheel is still heavy IMO

[@MitchBoyer]

That's with the tire and rotor on it :)

[@adriancruz2322]

Hey Mitch, it looks like this video has been a year, and I just want to ask about the wheelset? I'm considering C38 or the scribe. How is it so far?

[@MitchBoyer]

Thanks for watching. I still love 'em! I recently upgraded to their Elan wheelset (same size), and love those just as much as the originals. They are a little lighter, but I don't notice much of a difference to be honest. I think the Scribe Core range is an incredible value for the money. They have a new freehub I'm excited to try out--there will be a video on it as soon as I get me hands on one :)

[@aaronsegal1682]

Great video. Love your bike. Debating getting these same wheels….and I live in Palm Springs. Planning to also get 42. How are the wheels holding up? You still happy with the purchase?

[@MitchBoyer]

I love ‘em! The freehub sound has grown on me and 42 is a nice depth, especially since it’s the only pair of carbon wheels I own. Light enough for climbs and slippery enough to feel fast on the flats. Definitely still recommend them 👍

[@laudel7]

[@Mr1DAVO]

Awesome video! I’ve actually ordered these last week but it’s reassuring to see your video review of it. I may have to change my bearing option as I’m also in LA and was not sure what to go with so I just went with the endurance option originally. I may also have to pick up that grease. Was it easy to apply for someone that’s never taken a hub apart?

[@MitchBoyer]

Nice! Hope you enjoy your wheels as much as I have mine. It was really simple to add the grease. The only tools you need (besides a cassette lock ring tool to remove the cassette) are two 17mm cone spanners. Unscrew both ends, and then the freehub slides right off.

[@Brwnrice]

Any reference to how loud these are compared to Hunts?

[@MitchBoyer]

I don’t have any Hunts to compare them with, but there’s a sound check toward the bottom of this article with a bunch of different freehubs (including Scribe and Hunt) cyclingtips.com/2021/02/scribe-aero-wide-42-disc-brake-road-wheelset-review/

[@Brwnrice]

@@MitchBoyer Thanks for the link. Ended up ordering the Scribes. Super stoked!

[@robr5504]

These scribes are louder than the hunts, mavics and rovals. My mate bought some scribes and had to pack the hub with grease (at additional cost). The noise might be a nice safety bonus but it’s also really, really annoying and he’s definitely freewheeling less in the group otherwise he’ll get heckled. I run bontrager pro37 wheels which are really, really quiet. I do wonder if packing the hub with grease impacts the performance? We often focus on weight and rim depth but there are other components in the wheel that can effect your average speed/watts

[@Brwnrice]

@@robr5504 Yeah they definitely do sound crazy. Just ordered my pair yesterday so i’m looking forward to gettin them! Will keep you guys updated on how they are/ noise. I’ve recently spoke with Mark from the Scribe team- super helpful, easy to reach and incredibly patient with me.

[@Thomas-fy9yc]

I upgraded my girlfriend for some some 42Ds also.
