[@TracKnGravelDeWd]

Note about carbon spokes. I was @ 225lbs when I started riding my winspace wheels. 1st spoke to break was rear wheel at the threads. rim went barely out of true and I made it home. The next time I broke spokes because my derailler committed suicide and dove into the spokes accelerating out of a corner. Took 3 out but the wheel didn't fail. It has been repaired and no problems since. I think the tensions are so high if you lose one you good chance of making it home. But it is a negative that you cant make an adjustment on the road in a jam with a spoke tool

Great review! Did you use or review their 36t ratchet hub (name of the hub is RD13, it is used in BWT, Marvel, SLR and Edge disc models)? They say, that it is a good clone of DT Swiss 240 hubs with TPI bearings (a little heavier than original 240, but much more lighter than 350).

[@vietnguyen4312]

A wider rim than the Hypers and $200US cheaper plus 3 year warranty. Impressive. The spokes are the same as the Hypers, Cadex, Hunt etc and the hub too is from the same factory. Costing just over $1000US, its a no brainer. Will wait for the next review.

Fantastic review which influenced me to buy a RB set. I rode them for 1/2 season upgrading from a pair of DA C24. They climb as well or even better then the DA. Definitely faster on the flats and not harsh at all. The wide rims maxed out the clearance of my DA900 calipers. I have barely 1mm on each side. Thinner pads would help. Down side, very Loud free hub. Some people love it but it's not my cup of tea.

Thanks for a great review have you or anyone else done a review of their disc brake disc wheel for triathlon

[@wasupwitdat1mofiki94]

As always you do the best wheel reviews I've watched. I'm not looking to buy wheels because I bought a set of Campagnolo Shamal Carbons a couple months ago. You want to talk about a pretty wheel, Campagnolo wheels are pretty which is one reason I wanted them. The most important reasons I chose Campy is because I owned a few models and all of them were better than other brands in the same pricepoint. I think the cup and cone bearing hubs are a lot smoother and faster than the cartridge sealed bearings so I was happy to see Campagnolo use them on their Shamal Carbon wheels. I don't like bladed spokes which is another reason I got these wheels. Bladed spokes catch a lot more of that crosswind that throws you around and loss of control. The features of the Drive wheels will catch a lot of buyers especially the weight but I'm not so concerned about weight and I feel weight wennie's obsessions with weight is why we have so many unsafe products on the market these days. I hope those wheels are safe long term, the manufacturer did seem to put some quality workmanship into them. Thanks for showing them to us.

[@stevenleffanue]

Yes, Campy wheels are nice. I've used some of their first alloy Shamals when the first came out...looked great on steel bikes.

[@sloprun]

I am concerned about the wheel height. I have used Dura Ace WH9100 C35s and 20 mph cross winds would dramatically shove me (I am 6' 1" and weigh 160 lbs). The lowest profile is 40 mm for the Drive. I understand that the Drive are much wider the the Dura Ace and minimize the vertical profile. Will the Drive wheels be driven just as much as the Dura Ace C35s?

[@stevenleffanue]

Understandable. We had quite a few riders here who had same concerns. They got the deeper wheels, and months later they not even thinking about it as they subconsciously adapted to how the wheels feel in crosswinds. Extreme crosswinds will affect you no matter what wheels are used , most of the time it's no problem.

Hi Oz, may I call you Steven? Anyway, braking... it seems that dry weather braking on carbon rims is sorted now (if you don’t touch test the rims). However, in the rain?

hello again, well I finally got around to assembling my Cinelli Superstar frameset, with Campagnolo Chorus 12speed group set, I also bought a pair of those Elite 50V rim brake wheels that you did a video about. Well the problem I'm having is the clearance between rim and brake pads. The brake pads rub on the rim. Is there anything that can be adjusted on the brake calipers? I have taken the brake cables off to ensure that there is no pulling there.

[@stevenleffanue]

Try removing the 2mm washers between the pad shoes and caliper arms

[@arnodivalentin5639]

you know just after I left that comment on your you tube page I look at the instruction manual that came with the brakes to see if there was any info about that. All I found was they say there is a very small screw on the caliper for adjusting imbalance of the brake pads. Well I gave it a try and voila it works, calipers opened up by 1.5 mm. Thanks for the info any how.@@stevenleffanue

[@arnodivalentin5639]

I thought about that but that spacer in Concave on one side,there is a reason why its there. So removing it is not an option

[@spinnetti]

Given the vagaries of resin/finish coat, I think I'd measure lateral deviation on the inside mounting face rather than than the exterior of the rim like you would do with a metal rim - probably a more accurate view of lateral true.

I have adjusted the der. many times but can't get the sweet spot, either I can't get it into the large sprocket or it touches the spokes very lightly.

[@HalosBob]

I am really tempted to get these wheels, but a couple of things are holding me back. It seems that from the reviews I have seen so far there are some issues; Hub issue from trace velo which had been fixed and got sent a new hub, bearing issue in the front hub for oz in the first batch and spoke tension in the front wheel being too low and inconsistent for peak torque as I read in the comments. The latter might be hard to test for a consumer, but it seems like the product being reviewed is not a finished product per say, but a product still in development. Would I get the improved wheelset where all the issues are taken care of, or should I wait untill a new version is released? It might be me being cynical, but I would think it would be harder to get a replacement part if you are not an influencer or the like. Also thanks for the excellent in debth review, would the wrinkeling inside the carbon rim affect the structural properties in any way or displace the weight distribution of the wheels? Did these wheels have less or more abnormalities inside the rim compared to other brands?

[@stevenleffanue]

Bearing problem fixed. Im still riding these wheels and no problems. I still recommend these wheels for racing only tho.

[@gtranquilla]

A dork disk on the rear hub might be wise to include…….Chain dropping in behind the largest cassette could be disaster out for the CF spoke integrity.

Hi Oz. Love your videos. When reviewing these wheels you've covered just about everything but unless I'm mistaken, you don't give an opinion on the freehub pick-up / drive engagement lag. The Elite Drive wheels use a 4 pawl hub with a 36 tooth drive ring and thus have 10 degree angle of engagement. My current wheels have 6 pawls and a 102 teeth drive ring which gives a very rapid 3.5 degree AOE which I love. What's the drive pick-up like with the Elite's out in the real world on the road ? Would I notice the difference between 3.5 and 10 degree AOEs ? One other aspect I don't think you've covered is what are the Elite Drive 50s like in crosswinds ? I've a different set of 50mm section wheels which are badly affected by crosswinds.

[@stevenleffanue]

You want notice engagement difference on a road bike....more engagements are good for trial bikes,bmx and some cross-country. 50mm section isn't as bad as a 70mm but better than 35mm. It's that simple with crosswinds

Hi there, I was watching all your other videos about waxing chains etc but I have a question I didn't see you cover there: What should we do for out cogs/cassettes to stop them oxidizing/rusting straight away? I cleaned my chain, rear cassette and front cogs with a vinegar soak to remove rust, and rinsed with water to wash it off. It worked very well except almost instantly after drying, the front and rear cogs have orange rust/oxidization all over them. I'm guess normally the recommendation would be to lube them up straight away before it has a chance to set in, but I'm wanting to try your wax method so I don't imagine waxing all the cogs etc. is the answer?

Hi Steven, Been watching your videos for a while now and I certainly learn more from them than other others on KZbin as expert as they are. have you been expanding your workshop into a more full time occupation? Looks very busy for a "hobby". Cheers Vic much appreciated.

Glad your enjoying the vids Vic. It's temporary workshop till new one finished.

you know just after I left that comment on your you tube page I look at the instruction manual that came with the brakes to see if there was any info about that. All I found was they say there is a very small screw on the caliper for adjusting imbalance of the brake pads. Well I gave it a try and voila it works, calipers opened up by 1.5 mm. Thanks for the info any how. @stevenleffanue

bit of a halo product and moment. Nice!

shiny rims - I don´t belive a word! I´m sure you have waxed them... :-) great videos anyway!

[@trentvlak]

Aren't the nipples at the rim two piece? You hold the flat on the spoke side and then twist from the rim side to tighten.

[@stevenleffanue]

Yes

Enjoy ur forensics. Keep up the good work

Good point at 17:10. I don't understand the allure of carbon spokes. Questionable reliability compared to steel, and any benefits they provide are so marginal as to be meaningless to 99.9% of cyclists. Are the freehub pawls steel? I've seen non-steel pawls fail as their end tips wear and round off. Good steel pawls last essentially forever.

Do you have a new shop/workspace?

[@stevenleffanue]

Temporary whilst new one in the pipeline.
