MyBike.parts![New Benchmark for Carbon Wheels? [Farsports C5 Review]](https://mybike.parts/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6OTYwLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--68a5819b206bc90cf2473305acb68de88466665a/hqdefault.jpg)
Watch my review of the Farsports C5 wheels to determine whether they are worth it. I have thoroughly tested them both indoors and outdoors and even descended over 10 km on a flat tire. Did they survive?
I also examined their lateral and radial trueness, checked spoke tension and inside of the rim, and put them to the test on different terrains.
