Who knew Henry Rollins was such a keen cyclist?

[@terbennett]

That is exactly what I thought.

I couldn't think why he was so familiar, but that's it.

Dude ur funny lolz

[@Zaalogg]

I just bought vcycle nopea 60 and they look exactly same and same hubs but they have painted brandname all over the place.

[@AdilsonAmaro]

Well done !! very pro review.

[@69buckleys]

another great video, if you get a chance could you show how to remove the cassette from the old rear wheel? cheers

[@stevenleffanue]

Can do but there are plenty of vids on youtube already showing that. Is there anything specific about taking off old cassette that you need details on?

[@69buckleys]

if its been done already dont worry about it i'll have a look around. cheers

[@farouk6564]

Great info! Can make a video for disk brakes wheels please? Thank you!

[@stevenleffanue]

+Farouk Cherchali Disc option for Road or MTB ?

[@farouk6564]

Road bike please. Thanks Steven

[@stevenleffanue]

Good idea Farouk,since they are being test ridden in races and may get full UCI approval by end of this year. Its a bit like electronic gear systems...has pro's n con's. keep in touch....Steven

[@farouk6564]

Thank you very much looking forward to it.

[@cup_and_cone]

2:57 - Rim sticker says maximum 130kgf spoke tension... that is low, especially for 20 spoke (I think they drill them down to 16/18 too). Really would expect around 150/160kpf for a max figure, 130kpf being average, for a solid wheel. Do you have a spoke tension meter? I'd be curious what tension these wheels come at from the factory.

[@Einhander49]

Excellent video, bro. If I may ask, do you know if these hubs for shimano cassettes work with sram red cassettes as well? Thanks.

[@lewisfilms]

So many of these unbranded wheels to choose from. Quality and safety are top concerns. What should I get?

Good informative reviews mate.

[@perwiratempur]

Thanks for the vid. I am having trouble trying to fit tyres onto my carbon wheels. My wheels are 25mm width and I'm using Conti GP4ksII 23c... Also, if I puncture outside, I find it will be hard to pump the tyre up for the bead to set in if I cant pump it to over 100psi... Lastly, does carbon brake pads wear out faster than normal alu brake pads? Any suggestions? Thanks...

[@stevenleffanue]

+perwiratempur Hi "perwiatempur". Some tyres are harder to fit than others. If the tyre is tight to fit you may need to use some tyre levers...careful not to catch and puncture the tube whilst doing so. If its still too hard to pull over the rim,put a light dust of talcum powder all the way around the tyre beading...this will help it slip on. If you have pumped the tyre up to 100psi and it still has a down spot or two,put some soap and water or dishwashing liquid and water on the area that needs to pop up. Yes,brake blocks for carbon rims are softer than for aluminium rims and will wear quicker. There are some very good cheap blocks out there that are excellent ....small price to pay for looking after your carbon wheels.Wiggle have "Life line", set of 4 for less than $7 .

[@iniesta2908]

Thx for the video! Where did you buy your new wheels from?

[@stevenleffanue]

[@mekalekaho]

Great stuff, thank you so much!

[@Tchairdjian]

Do you have any recommendations for a good Disc Brake wheelset?

[@nils21v]

I was wondering did you ever had any problems with heating of the clincher rims caused by often using the brakes on a hilly ride?

[@stevenleffanue]

+Njj They warm up a bit Njj but not hot like my alloy rims. No delamination with heavy breaking either. So far very happy.

[@kelvingrover2817]

hosw much cost where bought how long do brake pads last in wet weather?

[@stevenleffanue]

"Baradine" pads on ebay....great pads and value for money. Ive used Swiss stops but they tend to squeel on wet rims,these baradines dont.

[@TimmiMontreal]

Why do you want grease on the cassette body? Sprockets never get stuck. it only turns it into a grease-magnet. Also, I am a bit sceptical of said "necessity" to "lower pressure when in storage to avoid warping of rim over time". if you look at how tough and stiff CF rims are, in some tests on here, you quickly come to understand that no comparison can be made with plastic (CD/DVD) disks or vinyl records that have no carbon-fibre reinforcement in their structure. I suspect that both these things are unnecessary.

[@stevenleffanue]

Just a small smear of grease prevents the cassette creaking on the body....often occurs after wet rides and the bike dries out.

[@andrewtwentyniner9541]

Greetings!! may I ask what type of braking Surface would you recommend, carbón or alloy, and why??

[@stevenleffanue]

+Andres Cisneros Brake pad technology for carbon brake tracks is equal to alloy braking these days. An alloy track may last longer than carbon track with exception to extremely light alloy rims where it would match the life of the carbon. Some carbon wheels have alloy brake track to get the best of both carbon and alloy. Most carbon wheelsets are now full carbon tho.

[@andrewtwentyniner9541]

oz cycle thank you for your response! I have decided to purchase my first set of carbon alloy wheels from yoeleo based on your vídeos and reviews. Great vídeos btw! Hope they look as awesome on my Orca as they do on yours.

[@NikFowler]

Have to say this is not the case if you are climbing proper cols and then descending. Carbon overheats, and then delams. Not funny at 60kph.

[@Endocirugiamx]

Amazing!

[@886014]

These look like 50 mm Yoeleo wheels. Can you confirm and provide the specifics of the actual model this is? They have a bewildering number of selections on their site, and while many are clearly just repeated in different areas, it's hard to keep track of which is which. I'm looking at some wheels like this and am keen to know how these are working out for you now?

[@stevenleffanue]

+Pete F These are Yoeleo,standard SAT,700c,60mm clincher,Novatec 291/482 hubs. 3k weave,matt finish.

[@886014]

+oz cycle Ok, thanks for the quick reply. Looks like I was close, but no cigar. Just a few questions if you don't mind. You've been riding these for a while now and the novelty of a new purchase will have worn off, so it's probably a good time to ask. Are you still happy with them now? Would you buy that exact same combination now if they were damaged or stolen and you had to do it all again? Is there anything you'd do differently? I've been looking for a new wheel set, coming off Mavic Ksyrium ES, a second set but now an old wheel and worn out. I never mind wearing gear out! I'm 70 kg, and looking at lightweight 38 or 50 mm full carbon wheel so your opinions and experience has been very well received. Thanks

[@stevenleffanue]

+Pete F So far done 5,000km on these 60mm....very happy. I am 79kg and ride country roads which are pretty rough here. If and when I buy another wheelset,I will go with Yoeleo. You would have no probs at 70kg with 38 or 50mm. Yoeleo isnt the cheapest of the cheap but worth it for their sheer reliability. Hope this helps your confidence Pete :)

[@886014]

+oz cycle Awesome, thanks for that! Yeah it looks like you live down south of ADL. I'm originally from Adelaide and always enjoy my riding when I get over there (in SYD now, nothing is flat up where I am!). The riding around ADL city is great, and the Adelaide hills the next best thing to riding in Europe. Fast, flowing, and interesting. The roads out in the country are crap chip and seal however! I appreciate the good news story. I'm not after super-cheap, these are going on my old Time VXR, and it's still a great frame. I no longer race, but still enjoy my riding. I see the company advertise using DT-Swiss and Sapim spokes for example and have asked if they are genuine. I've also asked both those companies if this company is a customer. The two stories better align or I won't be supporting them. I regularly buy direct from China and I've had variable experience, hence my trepidation. Having said that, if everything is Kosher and they're finally latching on to the idea of building a brand and not just a series of cheap sales, then I'll be all over it.

[@stevenleffanue]

+Pete F Sydney!!...i hear its manditory to have a bell there now? Spokes in my wheels are flat aero chinese ones....they are amazingly strong. Sapim will be lighter if thats what you want tho. Chinese products....always rely on long-term user feedback and yull be alright.

[@Japonsk01]

Hi!! I'm new in cycling (Road). Can a Ultegra 11-25 Cs be fitted & replaced 105 11-28 Cs without replacing chain or anything?

[@stevenleffanue]

+Japons K01 You can replace your cassette set,yes but a new cassette MUST have a new chain to fit. Your old chain will not fit unless it has hardly been used.

[@Japonsk01]

My TCR ADVANCED with 105 group set Is just a month old & also ordered a SAT C38/50 Clincher thank you for recommending YOELEO... So just Straight swap without any issue in future?

[@stevenleffanue]

+Japons K01 Treat cassettes and chains like a married couple....they stay together for life,no swapping chains,etc. So new cassette must have new chain. You will have no problem with your Yeoleo wheels,theyre great.....enjoy.

Which is the best Chinese wheels u recommend? With out decals.

[@georgetfzhang]

Hi, just an update on the Yeoleo brand, word in the industry is that the company has went bankrupt apparently. Still unclear why. It's a shame because their wheels are just excellent.

[@stevenleffanue]

+georgetfzhang I was just speaking to the owner last week...no mention of that!?. I will check it.

[@georgetfzhang]

Please do. I'm interested to get confirmation too.

[@stevenleffanue]

+georgetfzhang I just spoke to Leo. They are not going out of business. He said that they have been busier than ever. So looks like it might have been a bad rumour. Cheers

[@YOELEO]

That's a bad rumor.Actually we have increasing orders and offer better service.

[@georgetfzhang]

Thanks for clearing that up! It's best to hear from the company itself. The reason why I heard the rumor in the first place was because I have friends who work in the bike industry in China, and they told me your "Taobao" store has been shut down with the message that the company has gone bankrupt.

[@Einhander49]

Excellent video, bro. If I may ask, do you know if these hubs for shimano cassettes work with sram red cassettes as well? Thanks.
