All Reviews

The reviewer provides a detailed review of the Nepas Nova carbon wheels, covering unboxing, specifications, in-house quality control tests, and riding impressions. They note the wheels arrived in a bright green box with quality accessories like a proper wheel bag, tubeless valves, rim tape, spare spokes, and a tool. The wheels weigh 1258g for a 45mm front/55mm rear mallet setup. They feature 3.2mm 1A carbon spokes with hidden nipples and titanium T-heads, a patented hub flange design for safety, a 36-tooth ratchet mechanism, and SEMA ceramic bearings. The reviewer found the wheels to be well-assembled with excellent trueness and tension consistency. In riding, they felt stiff with immediate power transfer, comfortable, and stable in crosswinds, but noted speed maintenance felt marginally slower than heavier wheels. The reviewer compares them extensively to competitors like the Lun Hyper 5, Elite Wheels Drive 2, and others.

The reviewer presents the Carbon Speed REVENGER integrated handlebar, a full carbon product from the company Carbon Speed (also referred to as XAM Carbon Speed or XMCS). They are highly enthusiastic about it, praising its quality, development, and finish. The reviewer details its physical characteristics: made with Toray T000 carbon fiber, a -10° negative angle, 36.4mm stack, aero profile, 77mm reach, 130mm drop, and a 6.6° flare. It comes in four sizes (36, 38, 40, 42) with a 2.5cm wider bottom section. It features a textured grip on the top, two mounting points on the underside for aftermarket accessories, and internal cable routing. The handlebar arrives complete with all spacers and accessories. The reviewer notes it weighs 310g and costs approximately $350 (€300). They state it has undergone extensive laboratory testing and is suitable for a very race-oriented setup.

The reviewer states that if they were to start again, they would probably buy an IGPSPORT computer instead of the expensive Garmin. They specifically recommend the $40 IGPSPORT BSC100S, or the color display BSC300 for $120, as they are at least $250 cheaper than the Garmin.

The reviewer states that if they were starting from scratch, they would choose the Sava A7L Pro over a more expensive Trek model. They praise it as a very good bike that is half the price but just as good, highlighting its carbon construction, included components, and lighter weight.

The reviewer states that the Continental GP5000 STR tires are the best bang-for-your-buck upgrade you can make, and he would immediately change the stock tires on the Sava A7L Pro to a pair of them. He specifically recommends the 28mm width for that bike.
