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

RuoteICAN G25 SL
Creato: 05 settembre 2026Il recensore e un amico hanno testato le ruote gravel ICAN G25 SL per diversi mesi, incluso un weekend di guida gravel nel Lake District. L'amico, che in precedenza guidava il vecchio modello G25, ha trovato le nuove ruote più veloci quando si spinge, ma simili per la guida occasionale. Il recensore ha poi ispezionato le ruote in officina, notando che sono rimaste vere nonostante l'uso intenso e avevano interni dei mozzi puliti, anche se il grasso del mozzo libero era sporco. Nel complesso, il recensore raccomanda le ruote, specialmente per chi passa da ruote in lega di serie, ma suggerisce che i possessori del precedente modello G25 potrebbero non notare una differenza significativa.
Riepilogo IA
Pros
- Prestazioni migliorate rispetto alle vecchie G25 quando si spinge, con dati che mostrano circa 2 mph più veloci sui segmenti.
- Le ruote sono rimaste vere dopo un uso intenso, con la ruota anteriore a 0,2mm e quella posteriore a 0,2mm di runout laterale.
- La tensione dei raggi era costante, entro il 5-10% l'uno dall'altro.

Cons
- Il corpo del mozzo libero aveva più sporco all'interno del previsto dopo circa 1.000 miglia, anche se potrebbe essere dovuto al grasso rosso scuro iniziale.
- Il mozzo libero è proprietario, quindi la sostituzione può essere acquistata solo da ICAN e costa circa £50.
- La larghezza interna del cerchio di 25mm è più stretta rispetto ad alcune ruote moderne (27-28mm+).
