ELITEWHEELS SLT Road Carbon Wheels Aero 3K Twill Brake Ceramic Bearing Hub Pillar 1423 Spoke Clincher Tubeless Wheelset
Created: August 30, 2024The reviewer discusses their experience with the ELITEWHEELS SLT Road Carbon Wheels, which they purchased from AliExpress. They mention the wheels took longer to arrive due to factory closures in China and shipping route changes. The reviewer highlights the wheels' features, including their depth (82mm on the back, 60mm on the front), ceramic bearings, and brake track design. They upgraded the spokes to save weight and chose black decals for aesthetics. The reviewer notes the wheels feel fast in tailwinds and stable in crosswinds, though they express concerns about the durability of the ceramic bearings and the need for potential replacement with steel bearings. They also mention the wheels are wide (25mm) and aerodynamic, with a good brake track design for wet conditions.
