Descripción

5 months ago, we did a full workshop evaluation of the new ICAN G25 SL gravel wheels. Testing showed them to be ‘Technically’ a very good set of wheels. But this only tells half the story. So I gave the wheels to a KOM chasing gravel cyclist, and told him to try and break them!

We then get them back to the workshop to see if he did manage to brake them.

So in this video, we travel up to the Lake District, catch up with Gareth, and see what his 5 months of abuse has shown us.

ICAN G25 SL

ICAN G25 SL

Creado: 5 de septiembre de 2026

El revisor y un amigo probaron las ruedas de grava ICAN G25 SL durante varios meses, incluido un fin de semana de ciclismo de grava en el Distrito de los Lagos. El amigo, que anteriormente montaba el modelo G25 más antiguo, encontró que las nuevas ruedas eran más rápidas cuando se esforzaba, pero similares para la conducción casual. El revisor luego inspeccionó las ruedas en el taller, notando que permanecieron verdaderas a pesar del uso intenso y tenían los internos del buje limpios, aunque la grasa del buje libre estaba sucia. En general, el revisor recomienda las ruedas, especialmente para aquellos que actualizan desde ruedas de aleación de serie, pero sugiere que los propietarios del modelo G25 anterior pueden no notar una diferencia significativa.

Resumen IA

Pros

  • Rendimiento mejorado en comparación con las antiguas G25 cuando se esfuerza, con datos que muestran aproximadamente 2 mph más rápido en segmentos.
  • Las ruedas permanecieron verdaderas después de un uso intenso, con la rueda delantera a 0.2 mm y la trasera a 0.2 mm de descentramiento lateral.
  • La tensión de los radios fue consistente, dentro del 5-10% entre sí.

más pros en el vídeo

Cons

  • El cuerpo del buje libre tenía más suciedad dentro de lo esperado después de aproximadamente 1,000 millas, aunque podría deberse a la grasa roja oscura inicial.
  • El buje libre es propietario, por lo que el reemplazo solo se puede comprar a ICAN y cuesta alrededor de £50.
  • El ancho interno de la llanta de 25 mm es más estrecho que algunas ruedas modernas (27-28 mm+).
