Latest Reviews
Easedon Gravel 26/28mm
Easedon Gravel 26/28mm wheels are a budget-friendly, lightweight option sold on AliExpress. Users report sub-1200g weights for disc brake wheelsets, with prices often under $500 USD. The wheels are highly customizable (rim finish, spoke type, hub choice, asymmetric option) and feature Goldix hubs. Most users praise the value, communication, and performance, but some have experienced spoke nipple failures due to short spokes, particularly on asymmetric gravel wheels. Overall, they are considered a strong alternative to brands like Elitewheels for weight-conscious buyers on a budget.
ZTTO SLR Gen3 Cassette
The ZTTO SLR Gen3 cassette is a lightweight 11/12-speed cassette featuring aluminum cogs (typically the largest 3) riveted to a steel monoblock. Users report weights around 285g for an 11-50T 12-speed version and note it is significantly lighter than Shimano 105. However, the cassette suffers from inconsistent quality: some units shift well after fine-tuning, while others are noisy, difficult to index, and prone to premature wear or catastrophic failure (sheared alloy cogs, broken teeth, loose rivets). Durability is a major concern, with several reports of failures within 1000-3000 km. Many users recommend alternatives like Goldix or standard Shimano cassettes for reliability.

10PLUS: Factory-Direct Carbon Wheels from Xiamen
10PLUS is a young brand from Xiamen selling carbon wheels directly through their own web shop. I first stumbled upon them earlier this year on Reddit and Instagram, and by now the first couple of review videos are showing up on YouTube as well. A while later the brand reached out to me directly. What got my attention was the gravel wheelset: 25 mm internal width, hooked rims, 1560 g, for $459. That is the rim profile that Silca just built their whole new tyre range around, at a fraction of the usual brand price. So I dug through all their spec sheets and compiled what I found.
