The reviewer unboxes and examines the YOELEO SAT C45 DB Pro NxT Gravel Wheelset, highlighting its features and performance. They note the packaging is different from previous YOELEO wheel sets, resembling a presentation box. The wheelset comes with spare spokes, valve extenders, and a valve remover. The reviewer praises the aesthetic, mentioning the dark gray background with shiny logos and a Chinese symbol. The wheels are 45 mm deep, suitable for general gravel riding or competition. They are hooked, allowing use with tubes or tubeless, and have an internal width of 27.3 mm and external width of 34 mm. The reviewer appreciates the lack of rim holes, eliminating the need for rim tape, and the use of Tor800 carbon fiber with beefed-up sidewalls (3.65 mm). The wheels weigh 740 g (rear) and 630 g (front), totaling 1370 g. The reviewer also mentions the ventilation holes to remove moisture, the Pillar Winged Arrow spokes (stainless steel, anodized black), and brass nipples for corrosion resistance. The hubs are center lock only, with 36 engagements per revolution, and feature a free hub saver to prevent cassette bite. The reviewer tests the wheels for trueness, lateral deviation, concentricity, and spoke tension, finding excellent results. They also discuss tire compatibility, recommending tires from 35 to 53 mm, and demonstrate inflation with various tire sizes.
