They remain true and spoke- tension is even throughout. Impressive at any cost, but ~$400 they're a relative steal. Were I to buy new ones I'd go with 21mm inner width rims to enable wider tires. I'm now running 700X30MM hybrid tubeless tires which and they're fine but I can't go any wider on the 19mm rims. NBD. 4th Update (12-31-2023) Another 1,500 miles , another update. All is good. Were I not superstitious I'd sell my truing stand. Both wheels are still true in every direction. I've added a few more scratches to the rims which annoys me -- my responsibility of course -- but everything else about the wheels is as you'd want: trouble free. 32 months of ownership. Solidly 5 stars. 3rd UPDATE (10-4-22) 7,000 miles total and the wheels are rock solid. Even after a crash while turning with a flat front tire (my fault) which knocked me out yet not the wheel, the spoke tension and trueness are holding. If we're giving up something with this $400 carbon wheelset (weight?) compared with known brands I have yet to find it. Noisy hub if I have to come up with a negative. NBD. Amazing value and quality. 2nd UPDATE (12-30-21) I've put on another 1500 miles after the last update bringing the total mileage on the wheels to 3,500. They continue to be rock solid. They are true and holding spoke tension. My previous comments and recommendation have been reinforced. Quality for price is outstanding. UPDATE (10-7-21) after 4 months and over 2000 miles: Still true with consistent spoke tension. An unexpected bonus is that the tubeless tires hold their seal without air when I'm refreshing sealant. I can use a floor pump to reinflate. Reflects the quality of the wheel build. Solid all around and a great value. Very pleased with my experience (The front wheel is a bit scratched from carelessly putting in my truck bed. Obviously, that's on me! ) ORIGINAL REVIEW: Except for two issues which were a nuisance but not worthy of one less star -- I'll discuss them later -- I'm very pleased with these, my first set of carbon wheels. I'm an experienced cyclist and I do all my wrenching. Can I give you an opinion on the relative merits of this wheelset compared with others made of carbon? Of course not, but I did considerable research in general, and specifically on ELITE, a company I was unfamiliar with, I took a chance on it, and after 470 miles I'm completely satisfied. I hope to add to this review at the end of the year after 2500 more miles. I purchased the 50mm X 27 MM tubeless set and installed 700X25 Continental 5000TL (tubeless) tires (despite the colossal pain with mounting them.) . I wanted wider rims to get the proper aero effect (Look-up 105 rule), which were not easy to find at this price level. I ride in Tucson AZ on roads that vary in surface quality and I was concerned with harshness from the new wheels Coming from custom-made tubeless metal wheels which were very comfortable on rough surfaces I was apprehensive. To my pleasant surprise, these are even better -- something I did not expect. No harshness and they roll beautifully. When the wheels arrived I checked the true and spoke tension. Absolutely spot-on. After the 470 miles they're still true, if just a wee-bit off on lateral, and spoke tension is holding. Nice. Undoubtedly it's partially a placebo effect, but my metrics are up over the three weeks I've been riding with them. Road feedback is great and they are stable at any speed. Over 18-20MPH I could feel the aero effect. The 3k brake track is as advertised -- with carbon-specific pads the brake feel and action is very good. Carbon wheels with rim brakes are known to have a delay in braking versus metal rims. I found that to be minimal. One thing I don't like is the noisy hub. I came from an Ultegra freehub which was very quiet. I expected more noise. and. alas, I got it. It's a personal thing and not a big deal. I'm already adjusting to it. It's a form. not a functional thing. Some customization is possible. I asked for red spoke nipples, 3K gloss finish and black logos -- no problem. Inside the rim of one wheel was a lump of dried resin which should have been removed before leaving the factory. I was concerned my tubeless tires would not seat correctly. ELITE owned the issue immediately and gave a remedy that it admitted I should not have had to employ. I mounted the tires without sanding the bump and the tires seated fine. A bonus, is that both wheels with sealant are holding pressure longer than with my previous wheels. The company's estimate of one month to get to you is very optimistic -- at least in my case -- and I advise patience when a week or two could go by without an update particularly if it uses a certain carrier. Think Singapore. Could I have bought lighter wheels made of better carbon, better spokes and a ceramic hub housed in carbon which was less noisy? Of course, but not at this price. It sells widely in China (you can probably guess where) and is relatively new to desertcart. It's a big company and I'd reckon an OEM manufacturer as well. I confirmed in writing that its 1000 day warranty does NOT require you to send a wheel back IF it is covered. In my experience that's where disreputable Asian sellers earn their bad reps. This has to be one of the best values for carbon wheels extant today. I'm a very happy customer. Review: Outstanding wheelset!! - When I neded a new wheelset for my rim brake CX bike, I looked long and hard. I finally decided to pull the trigger on these Elite wheels. The process was dead simple, and communication with the manufacturer was excellent. As you can see, I ordered white decals, over the stock black. Elite sent me photos during the build process, and of the wheelset upon completion. Shipping took about 3 weeks to get to me. Now...for the wheels... Dead true and round out of the box. Spokes were all evenly tensioned & the hubs were smooth. The rear hub was a little tight, and lacked a bit of grease in the freehub. Thankfully, the hubs are easy to pull apart and service. As I said, these went on my CX bike. New Velox rim tape, latex tubes, and Donnelly LAS tires got thrown on. Because of the WIDE rims, the 33mm LAS rubber measured more like 38mm. I'm an old, and quit racing a decade ago, but this CX bike gets a LOT of action...probably more than my road bike. All surfaces. All conditions. I do NOT go easy on this bike. The wheels have been bulletproof. 6+ months and not so much as touched, other than to clean the bike once in a great while. Still dead true and round. They're plenty stiff, and light enough. At 45mm deep, the aero benefit is there, but you don't get blown into traffic by crosswinds. DEFINITELY faster, even with fat file treads on them, than the old carbon wheels that came off the bike. And they just look good... Great value for the money. So much so that I bought another 50mm deep/25mm wide set for my road bike. ## Features - FIBE - Imported - 1:Classic UD matte appearance.U-shaped wind-breaking wheel group shape, better cruising ability. - 2:use a high speed CNC machine to drill all the holes in our rims so they are uniform.

I really like this bike and am not interested in upgrading to a disc brake bike for a while as this one fits me so comfortably but I wanted a good upgrade. This was a great upgrade and totally worth it. The stiffness is great and 200 miles in (long ride of 40 so far) I am really happy with them. I use my cx bike for both gravel and cx and knew these would shine on gravel reading other reviews. For cx, they preform really well and are great for quick accelerations out of corners and up short steep hills. Also they bunny hop really well. The supplied brake pads fit my avid shorty's no problem. ## Frequently Bought Together - ELITEWHEELS Road Bike Carbon Wheels 700c Clincher 30/38/50/55/60/82mm Carbon Wheelset Tubeless Ready Cycling Wheel U Shape - Continental Grand Prix 5000 Bike Tire - 2 Pack - AR-PRO Bicycle Tubes Race 28 700x20-25C 700x32-47C Bike Tube, 700C Inner Tube with Presta Valve Super Value Bundle (Pack of 6 Tubes & 2 tire Lever) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/239767394-road-bike-carbon-wheels-700c-clincher-38-50-55-60](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/239767394-road-bike-carbon-wheels-700c-clincher-38-50-55-60) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
