These are good imo. Ok build quality, good brightness and a slightly longer battery life than the other similar shape i tried.

Let me confirm that my brakes (upgraded version with 2 bleed port) are running very good in my gravel bike with GRX shifters

---

I just installed few days ago the XG4 / IIIPRO flat mount kit with GRX shifters in my gravel bike. Quite annoing bleeding but now it works. Need to brake in the pads but "i got the power" now comprared to Apex

My easedon wheelset just arrived. Ordered on 10th July so took about 21 days to arrive.

Ordered these in configuration "40mm Deep, UD Matte, 28mm Wide, Fly Weight, HG" and i requested no logos and external nipples.

Stupidly I didn't notice the spoke holes on the product page, so I need to wait for some rim tape to arrive before I can fit them.

They weigh in at 1285g without rim tape, which is only ~100g lighter than my 50mm, 28mm wide Farsports with DT240 hubs that I got back in 2021 (although they were double the price!), that don't need rim tape.

I can't see any visible thread on the spokes, and I just about see that the spoke fills the nipple, when looking through the spoke hole.

But anyway, they look really nice and I'm looking forward to getting them on my new RO88 build, where they'll be using RideNow 36g TPU tubes and Conti GP5000 (non-TR)

I just received a pair of shimano rc703s from 'chaser store' Tried on a bunch of shoes at a store in person to find the right fit, but the prices are crazy. Not sure how 'real' these ones are, but they seem identical. Came with a shimano box, manual, and tags that were not attached. The size I ordered also fits exactly the same as the size I tried on so they seem legit. With coupons the 703s were the same price as the 302s in store.

I bought this one (I think someone else mentioned it in this thread):

Also just got the shipping notification yesterday. Pearl white frame in size M for me. I plan to do some decals in the style as the Scott Addict Gravel RC. I also purchased the new Elitewheels Aero+ Gravel wheels - excited to test these coming from the 303 XPLR S.

The Tsunami / Seaboard GR02 is another option, although it's a bit more of an all-road bike than gravel (42mm official max tire clearance, although may have been increased?). I have one for my commuter and it's been great - no issues building it up, and the paint and welds look good.

I only found one link for it, but I didn't search very hard:

You can get it direct from Tsunami as well, with more color and size options:

Hi all,

After a bit of a delay, I’m finally sharing my first impressions of a prototype gravel wheelset from XM Carbonspeed. I had a chance to chat with Peter from XMCS at Eurobike and received the wheels at a discounted rate in exchange for providing honest feedback here.

Unboxing & Initial Impressions
• Finish: Matte satin surface, golden water-transfer logos, raw titanium spokes, black hubs and nipples – very clean, high-end look.
• Rim profile: 42 mm outer / 33 mm inner width. Looks massive at first glance, but pairs surprisingly well with 40–45 mm tires and creates a smooth aero transition.
• Build quality: Excellent. The internal finish is flawless – no carbon debris, resin residue or visible imperfections.

Measured Weight (kitchen scale)
• Front: 615 g
• Rear (HG freehub): 720 g
• Total: 1,335 g

The XDR version is ~3 g lighter. Very impressive numbers for such wide rims with titanium spokes. XMCS claims T1100 carbon – which could explain the low weight, assuming durability holds up.

Tubeless Setup
• Tape: Buckless 35 mm
• Valves: Buckless aluminum
• Sealant: Schwalbe Doc Blue (60 ml front / 65 ml rear)
• Tires: Tufo Gravel Thundero – front 40 mm, rear 44 mm (both used)

Setup was straightforward – both tires seated immediately with a Tyre Booster.

Measured Tire Widths (@32 psi, compared to Zipp 303s)
• Front: 39.6 mm → 43.6 mm
• Rear: 43.3 mm → 47.6 mm

Next Steps
I’ll be testing them further on my custom titanium gravel bike – visually a perfect match. Ride impressions to follow soon.

If you have any questions or want specific feedback, feel free to ask!

I love the light blue jersey which fits just perfect and feels quite nice. All the other Spexcel clothes i tried didnt fit at all.

Unfortunately some of the chinese brands are not for taller and bigger people.
I havent tried Cheji yet as they dont even list my heigth as possible in their specifications.
Spexcel also tends to be too small. But some items fit just perfect.

Sharing my recent experience with Tagoola, ordered two wheelsets from them through AliExpress:

Aeroraptor ALL ROAD, 24mm internal, 32.6mm external, 40mm deep with CX Ray spokes:
https://aliexpress.com/item/1005008351886354.html
Weight came in at around 1460g with rim tape, if I recall correctly - seems in line with the 1430g advertised (without tape)
The wheels are mounted on my Waltly custom all road with 38mm supple tires and TPU tubes.
Shaved off almost 600g versus my previous aluminum wheels with durable tires.
Asked for no decals, shipped with tubeless valves and two spare spokes.
Rim bed has holes, which is fine for me and is covered with Kapton like tape.
Wheels are true, excellent ride feel for an all road bike.
After some vouchers and with the seller's shipping method that includes delivery & tax for shipping to Europe, Germany, I paid slightly below 400 EUR.
At this price this is an excellent set of wheels for all road and gravel bikes.

Aeroraptor RP PRO, 23.5mm internal, 31mm external, 45mm deep
https://aliexpress.com/item/1005009041517854.html
Opted for the steel bearings, weight is 1177g (with rim tape) vs the 1160g advertised without tape
Wheels are mounted on a BMC Roadmachine and shaved off almost 400g over my previous 50mm carbon wheel with steel spokes (Scribe Aero, 4 years old).
Same as above: requested no decals and spare spokes (2 shipped), rim bed with holes and covered with Kapton like tape.
This is my first carbon spoke wheelset (spoke width 3.5mm), I would not say it is a harsh ride feel, but it feels less compliant as steel spokes.
On the other hand, because of less weight and the stiff spokes, the wheels feel more stiff when accelerating and more lively when riding and cornering compared to my previous wheelset.
After vouchers and with seller's shipping method (including delivery & tax to Europe, Germany) these were <600 EUR.

Can not speak much about crosswind performance or long term relaibility, only done a few rides on each of the wheels.
Communication with Matter and the team was excellent and prompt.
Hard to believe there are better wheels, most definitely not at this price point - clear recommendation from my side.
