The reviewer discusses a wheel set purchased from AliExpress under the brand 'Riot', which appears to be similar to the RYET Disc Brake Road Bike Carbon Wheels. They mention purchasing the wheel set for under Β£300, noting its 50mm deep tubeless ready carbon rim, 21mm internal and 28mm outer width, Pillar PSR TB 2015 straight pull spokes, and aluminum hubs with a six-pole ratchet system. The reviewer highlights the wheel set's performance over 1500 miles, including its build quality, spoke tension consistency, and lateral trueness. They also note the wheel set's comfortable ride quality and decent stiffness, though they mention it feels a bit unsettled at high speeds.
