Carbon Speed T1100 carbon 700C 53mm depth 32.5mm internal 41mm external width gravel wheelsets with titanium spokes
WheelsHi all, I’ve completed my first rides on the wheels – about 200 km in total. Unfortunately, my last outing ended in a self-inflicted crash, so here’s just a quick update before I post a full review once I’m back on the bike. Roughly half of the distance was on tarmac, the other half on light gravel (what we’d call “forest Autobahn” in Germany), with only a few short singletrack sections. So far, no major climbs or descents and no technically challenging trails – that part is still to come. pros • The wheels accelerate well and hold speed efficiently • Hubs and bearings run extremely smooth • Freehub engagement is flawless so far • Tubeless setup was easy and air retention has been excellent • Possibly due to the titanium spokes, there seems to be better damping of small vibrations from the surface • Aesthetics are great – they look as good as they ride neutral / learnings • Due to the wide internal rim width, tire pressure can and should be set significantly lower compared to my previous 23 mm internal rims • The wheels act as a large resonance chamber and brake noises can be noticeably louder cons • With the tall, lightweight rims combined with high-volume tires, cross-wind sensitivity is noticeable • They tempt you to ride faster than you probably should
