All Reviews

The reviewer tested the TUKUS Bluefin Turbo-SR wheels and found them to be very comfortable, absorbing road vibration well, likely due to the corrugated spokes. They also noted good stiffness and power transfer, with no undue flex during climbing. The wheels are visually striking and bling, though some riders found them toyish or overdone. The reviewer gave them an 11/10 for aesthetics. The wheels come with a 3-year warranty and are UCI approved. The price is $1,226, with a discount code 'odd cycle 12' for 12% off.

The reviewer discusses the Serenade Snakeskin Carbon Road Wheelset, which he uses on his Cannondale Evo Six Lab 71. He notes that he accidentally ordered a 65mm front and rear instead of the intended 45mm front and 65mm rear. He praises the wheelset's performance, stiffness, and finishing, and mentions setting a personal record on a climb. He compares it favorably to his Two Coast wheelset and Chris King hub wheelset, but notes some front wheel flex during sprints and concerns about crosswind stability due to the high profile. He also mentions that ceramic bearings are not an option on the website and must be requested via WhatsApp, and he is unsure if ceramic bearings are actually installed. Overall, he strongly recommends the wheelset.

The reviewer tested the MOVING Aim One SL1200cs 50D Ultralight Carbon Wheelset and found it to be one of the lightest carbon wheels under $1,000, with impressive weight savings and aerodynamic carbon spokes. However, internal carbon quality was noted as messy, and spoke tension was inconsistent on some sides.

The transcript does not mention QUICK PRO GR:ONE.

The reviewer unboxes a Serenade Snakeskin Carbon Road Wheelset, which he compares favorably to more expensive Scope wheelsets. He highlights its light weight, carbon spokes, ceramic bearings, and snake-skin-like finish. He notes that ceramic bearings must be requested via WhatsApp for an extra $60 SGD, and that the total cost is around $630 USD plus $60 SGD, equivalent to about $900 SGD. He mentions a 3-week to 1-month wait time due to production. He has not yet tested performance but plans to install tires and tubes for future testing.

The reviewer unboxes and examines the Tucus Bluefin NEO 52 wheelset, noting its packaging, specifications, and value. He highlights the wheels' wave profile, UCI approval, and competitive price, expressing curiosity about their on-road performance.

The reviewer unboxes the Quick Pro ER:ONE frameset and gives initial impressions. They praise the frame's finish, aero seatpost, high-quality bolts, and clean cable management, but criticize the basic out-front mount, the less premium unboxing experience compared to the cheaper Winspace, the Chinese-only instructions, and a minor cosmetic flaw on the fork. They also note that the stem angle is comfortable and the packaging is well-cushioned.

The reviewer bought the Evolve Sima frame after a previous test and has ridden it extensively, including an étape du Tour. He considers it excellent and compares it favorably to the Tarmac SL8 Pro, citing advantages in rigidity, stability, weight, and value for money.

The reviewer praises the Magicshine HORI 900S front light for its excellent build quality, comprehensive accessory package, and impressive illumination with up to 900 lumens. The light features a cutoff low beam to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic, multiple brightness modes, and a wide beam pattern. It also integrates with the included remote control and can be paired with the rear light for simultaneous operation. The reviewer notes that the front light and remote were pre-paired, simplifying setup. However, they mention the lack of StVZO approval for German road use and the need to verify battery life independently.

The reviewer is building an ICAN Tri Aero Fly frame sent by ICAN. They praise the packaging and build quality, noting clean internals, high-quality paint, and good components like T47 BB and UDH. However, they note a heavier-than-advertised weight, minor paint bleeds, and a potential fork layer gap.

The reviewer tested the TOCCAY AERO-50 Ghost carbon wheels on a challenging climb and descent in the Lake District, praising their performance, build quality, and value. They found the wheels responsive, stiff, and stable in crosswinds, and noted they are comparable to more expensive premium wheels.

The reviewer discusses the Elitewheels ENT 3.0 carbon wheels, which are an updated version of the best-selling ENT 2.0. They installed them on their bike and rode 500 km. The 3.0 features a wider rim, a new hub system, and a matte carbon finish. The reviewer concludes that the 3.0 is significantly better than the 2.0.

The reviewer discusses the Quick Pro ER1 frame, praising its aesthetics, build quality, and customizability. He notes it is a popular social media frame and is raced at high levels, making it a solid all-around race bike.

The reviewer analyzes the Tavelo Grow Gravel frame, noting its tire clearance, storage, and geometry. They find the seat angle too slack for larger sizes and criticize the seatpost insertion limits and mislabeled zero-offset post. The paint job is praised, but issues include no chainstay protector, tiny drain hole, loose headset bearings, and heavy internal divider. Weight is decent at 1,796g total. Overall, they recommend it if the geometry suits the rider.
