  • Cheaper than Shimano Dura-Ace
  • Machined from one piece of aluminum

  • Excellent climbing bike with nimble, responsive feel out of the saddle

+3 more

Elitewheels ENT: Is This Aliexpress Bestseller Worth It? [REVIEW]
00:08:04

The reviewer discusses the Elitewheels ENT carbon wheelset, which they purchased for $287 from AliExpress. They tested the wheels over 1,000 kilometers, including challenging terrains like Belgian cobblestone climbs. The wheels are tubeless-ready but are noted as the heaviest 50mm wheels they have tested, with the front wheel weighing 828g and the rear 950g (total 1,778g without tubeless rim tape and valves). The internal rim width is 20mm, and the external width is 28.1mm, which is standard for modern wheels. The wheels feature Pillar 1423 steel spokes and Elitewheels six-pole hubs with steel bearings. The reviewer found the wheels to be well-built with consistent spoke tension and decent hub centering, though they noted some epoxy residue and wrinkles inside the rims. Performance-wise, the wheels felt sluggish on climbs and rolling terrain due to their weight but were comfortable on cobbles and stable in crosswinds. The reviewer also mentions trying the ENT 80mm version, which was faster on flats but less stable in crosswinds.

AI Summary

Pros

  • Affordable price ($287 during Black Friday sales)
  • Tubeless-ready
  • Standard rim width (20mm internal, 28.1mm external) for modern tires

+7 more

Cons

  • Heaviest 50mm wheels tested (1,778g total)
  • Sluggish on climbs and rolling terrain
  • Epoxy residue and wrinkles inside the rims
