Anniversary Sale
Reviews & Ratings
The reviewer unboxes and reviews a set of carbon wheels purchased from CSC Wheels via AliExpress. They discuss the ordering process, delivery, first impressions, weight, and sound of the freehub. The reviewer chose a 50mm rim depth, 23mm internal width, and 30mm external width. They selected the 'Six Power' (likely a mispronunciation of 'Sapim' or a specific hub model) freehub body as the cheapest option. The wheels cost 360โฌ, arrived undamaged in 6 days from a Polish seller, and weigh approximately 1590g (845g rear, 745g front). The reviewer is impressed with the build quality, subtle branding, and modern specs. They note a minor error where the Shimano freehub body was installed instead of the SRAM one they ordered, but state it's not a problem. A follow-up test ride video is promised.
