Here's my reviews of my wide carbon gravel wheel set that I have purchased from Aliexpress. No affiliated links, no freebies... I paid with my own money.
I have to say that these wheels really surprised me. I was doubting the quality of these wide carbon gravel wheel set from Aliexpress cause sometimes you get what you pay for.
SO I rode these wheels over 1500km on road, cat1-2-3 gravel and some XC mtb single track trails. I ran into roots, big rocks and branches without any damage or changes to the integrity of the wheels.
Enjoy your rides
