Insane Value Aliexpress Carbon Wheels 1260g for £400 | Elitewheels Edge
The reviewer discusses their purchase of the Elite Wheels 40 mm Edge carbon clinchers, which they believe might be the best value wheels money can buy for under £400. They highlight the wheels' lightweight nature, coming in at 1263g for the pair without tape, which is lighter than the manufacturer's claim of 1292g. The wheels feature straight pull spokes, an aluminum free hub with a steel strip to reduce cassette bite, and a modern D-shaped rim profile. The reviewer mentions having used the 50mm versions of these wheels previously and found them to perform well. They note the wheels come with basic accessories including rim tape, heavy skewers, and carbon-specific brake pads. The reviewer expresses some concerns about long-term durability due to the low price but is overall impressed with the stiffness, responsiveness, and value for money.
