I Gave These Chinese Carbon Wheels to a Rider Who Doesn't Hold Back | ICAN G25 SL
The Cycle Workshop
7 août 2026
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.

RouesICAN G25 SL
Créé le : 5 septembre 2026Le critique et un ami ont testé les roues de gravier ICAN G25 SL sur plusieurs mois, y compris un week-end de conduite sur gravier dans le Lake District. L'ami, qui avait déjà roulé avec l'ancien modèle G25, a trouvé que les nouvelles roues étaient plus rapides lorsqu'il fournissait un effort, mais similaires pour une conduite décontractée. Le critique a ensuite inspecté les roues dans l'atelier, notant qu'elles étaient restées vraies malgré une utilisation intensive et que l'intérieur des moyeux était propre, bien que la graisse de la roue libre fût sale. Dans l'ensemble, le critique recommande ces roues, en particulier pour ceux qui passent de roues d'origine en alliage, mais suggère que les propriétaires du modèle G25 précédent ne remarqueront peut-être pas de différence significative.
Résumé IA
Pros
- Performances améliorées par rapport aux anciennes G25 lors d'efforts, avec des données montrant environ 2 mph plus rapide sur les segments.
- Les roues sont restées vraies après un usage intensif, avec un voile latéral de 0,2 mm à l'avant et de 0,2 mm à l'arrière.
- La tension des rayons était constante, à 5 à 10 % les uns des autres.

Cons
- Le corps de roue libre contenait plus de saleté que prévu après environ 1 000 miles, bien que cela puisse être dû à la graisse rouge foncé initiale.
- La roue libre est propriétaire, donc le remplacement ne peut être acheté que chez ICAN et coûte environ 50 £.
- La largeur interne de la jante de 25 mm est plus étroite que celle de certaines roues modernes (27-28 mm et plus).
