New Winspace UNAAS carbon wheelset - full review

[@mmaister]

Hi, UNAAS is a bike shop in Oslo, they have had their own branded ( but Chinese made)wheels for the domestic market for many years. It seems like they became available worldwide through winspace.

[@stevenleffanue]

Ah. Very interesting. Thanx for letting us all know about that 👍

[@mtbboy1993]

They actually currently have 5 stores in Norway. Oslo, Trondheim, Bergen, Skien, Kristiansand.

I have the 2023 Hypers. 2 weeks ago, I was on brand new asphalt. Smooth as anything. Anyway, got distracted and wasn't looking at the road ahead and went right into a big, deep hole in the road where a utility is located. I was going at a pretty good clip and almost went out over the handlebars. To my surprise, my Hypers are perfectly fine, not even a tiny wobble. Amazing.

[@stevenleffanue]

That good. Yeh , carbon is very strong up to it breaking point.

[@robertmcfadyen9156]

​@@stevenleffanueI hope that you are well , regards , Robert . I am still cautious of brands that are new or yet to be proven .

[@stevenleffanue]

True. Winspace have been around long enough and have a good reputation.

[@66mikkim]

@@stevenleffanue Over 90% of all carbon rims are made in China! Even the ones from most big western brands. ;-)

[@erlendsteren9466]

@@robertmcfadyen9156 Unaas have been selling Unaas-wheels for many years, and I often seee them in and around Oslo.

I build a few wheelsets myselve & I appreciate the details in this review.

Unaas is the last name of the brothers that own the brand

[@mikedio]

I was watching these wheels a few weeks ago but in the end i bought the campagnolo bora wto 60 instead at a 50% discount . Thanks for the review

[@jimaust5357]

As always great content and information, well done 👌

[@pigupigu]

Its not a new product. Its aged stock from their unaas stockpile that they manufactured for the unaas brand

[@faitsang7139]

Can you do a review of the Elilee E series? Thank you. Great review of the wheelset as always! Thank you!

[@ilgour]

22mm inner width is quite 2018. 2024 25mm

[@kubackjeee]

external 27mm is even worse

[@petersouthernboy6327]

Yep - I’m running 25mm ID 50mm deep aero. Hooked, too.

[@davidgarza2267]

Website says 21mm id. Wonder if his caliper needs calibrated.

I've been investing in Bitcoin by myself. I'm not really happy with what's going on, just few weeks ago I lost about $7,000 in a particular trade. Can you help me out or at least advise me on what to do?

[@RaquelSantiago-b8b]

I will advise you stop trading on your own if you keep losing. And i don't trade on my own anymore, I always required help and assistance

[@fabianmolyneux2308]

Excellent review, as I’d expect. Definitely, food for thought for me. I’m after a new set of wheels. These look great for the price, but my only qualm is the weight of them. I’m currently, favouring a set of Magenes, but they’re near double in price. They’re 150 grams lighter. If you have suggestions I’d appreciate it

[@stevenleffanue]

That's the catch....you can get lighter but it costs more. Comes down to juggling what your priorities are. I'd say for light riders go for less weight , heavier riders for a more robust wheelset.

[@chungyeungvideo]

the word in the front of the package is : Source from Norway. UNAAS. Strong as a stone. - Will not burn the rim on rim brake - Two wheels can hook up a car - Passed the 10000 km test where the "Source"is quite interesting😅

[@joshuabuss4870]

May I ask where you sourced that black pegboard?! Looks great.

[@stevenleffanue]

It's was white and I painted it grey 😁. Bunnings

[@pickongamer4357]

Can we get warrenty for this wheels in another country's?

[@zimboy777]

nice review - would you recommend the 50mm ahead of the super team all carbon d28/50 - which appear to be similar spec selling for US$600?

[@stevenleffanue]

Extremely close comparison. Wider spokes on the Unaas plus DT clutch.

[@johnnyboy4711]

850aud or US? Elites same weight and some way cheaper

[@roneysilveira2153]

Excelent TECHNICAL review: 👍👏🏻 Could be a little less weight like ELITE wave shap C46D CS by around 1.330 grams per set, with similar carbon spokes

[@morneauh]

Minimalism is not plastering big logo all over the place with a flag and a "Designed in ..." I'm unsure what was the design work done in Norway, I would really, really want to know. Probably they got someone over the phone. I think the best value wheel right now are the Magene UltraDark edition (5500 yuan ~$775USD). 30mm external, 23mm internal, ratchet, 1400g.

[@VincentShumai]

Where can you get them for $775 usd? Its showing $999 usd for me on their website

[@morneauh]

@@VincentShumai That's the price in China, so I guess $999 makes sense with the shipping.

[@phillevin6651]

Why no bottom spring, Only the one top spring?

[@stevenleffanue]

Only requires 1 spring...simpler design

[@theunknownunknown3007]

A got idea for your wheelset tests would be how silent they could after intensive greasing.

[@endtimeslips4660]

it must be nice have senior cycling club. in my place most cyclist are young blood, it sometime tiring to follow their stamina when you already late 60

[@stevenleffanue]

Yes. We have quite a few groups for different fitness levels. It's nice to enjoy the rides with the occasional banter. I'm sure the young ones you ride with enjoy your company and mature outlook.

[@roykeyes2367]

some of your prices quoted could be USD ?

[@roykeyes2367]

All prices on Winspace website are in USD

[@ngocson992]

hello, what about Spare spoke in the box?

[@stevenleffanue]

The wheelset doesn't come with spare spokes. They are available upon request if needed.

Hi Mate, can you confirm if they are centre lock or six bolt?

[@stevenleffanue]

Centrelock

[@shamanand]

Thanks Mate

[@shamanand]

About to place an order, do you recommend these over more expensive but lighter wheel sets with ceramic bearings and carbon spokes Just wanting your recommendation

[@kubackjeee]

Nice but those winspace rims are very dated. Too narrow for current standard in all their offering - 27/28 external width is just no acceptable now.

[@igadokenpancit7410]

@oz cycle they pronounce it ' Oh~nos '

[@mtbboy1993]

The double A is old Norwegian way of writing the letter Å which in english is the letter O like in Only. So you pronounced it completely wrong. no E in in it's pronounced like Unos Not Un-os like in Undo, but short N. Unaas is the surname of the brothers running the company. Espen Unaas established the company Unaas Cycling in 2008. The company has bike shops.

[@pierrex3226]

in 2024 for that price, this wheelset is a dog. head to chinertown forum to see who offers better specs & better value (hint: pretty much everybody). T700 is shyte, 27mm external is shite, and carbon spokes for that weight is shyte (due to using T700 mostly).

[@toyatoya1587]

No way I can used so noisy wheels.
