Superteam 50mm Clincher Wheelset 700c 23mm Width Cycling Racing Road Carbon Wheel Decal

I read about wheels, dreamed about wheels, researched them, watched YouTube videos on them and according to my wife became obsessed with them. Frankly I had lots of concern. I was concerned about them 'exploding' on descents, not braking, and in general be a waste of money. I looked at more expensive wheel sets and even almost bought another brand of Chinese wheels. In the end good customer feedback and Amazon reviews prevailed. When I placed this order the customer response was awesome. The order was received, shipped out of Kentucky and arrived on the west coast way faster than I expected. I had them in less than a week. At one point I emailed the seller about the shipping and the response time was fast and polite. The package arrived in good condition and the product was protected well. When I opened the box I was grinning from ear to ear. These things look awesome. The carbon layup, graphics, hubs, spokes, etc were all perfect. The wheels were true. Mounting the cassette was easy and I was able to put some Grand Prix tires on them without the use of levers. I used the axles provided. I was meticulous in the way I adjusted my brakes and used the pads provided. To be clear, I live in the desert will rolling bicycle trails and no rain. On my first ride out, aside from almost being hit by a car, the wheels performed flawlessly. The braking is as good if not better than my aluminum wheels. The hubs aren't overly loud. I also probably increased my speed by one MPH setting a new PR on one of my routes showing there is some aerodynamic benefit. So far I have about 100 miles on the wheels and am very happy about my purchase. I wipe the wheels down after every ride with baby wipes and inspect them and they look as good as new. I should have a 1000 miles on them by the end of summer so I will report back then. If you are in doubt, go for it and you won't be disappointed.7/4/18 - Wheels are still true. Blue super team brake pads leave blue in the wheel but it wipes off fairly easily. I wipe the wheels and brakes down after every ride. Lots of debris on the brakes but maybe that’s where I ride. Ride quality is impressive. You may want to buy an extra set of brake pads. These are wearing pretty quickly. Rather wear out a pad than a wheel. Braking is producing a noticeable odor but don’t understand why. I am feathering brakes, nothing heavy. Still impressed with the wheel and would get them again.8/2018 - I now have about 300 miles on the wheels. My last ride was a hilly and twisty section and it may have proved to be too much for these wheels. It looks like I have already cut through the top resin layer. See photo. The deformities are center of the braking surface. I am still running the pads that came with the wheels. I can't say enough about how good the customer service is. Joy did everything possible to keep me as a customer and the rim section was replaced.

Company Background:I have ordered a number of frames from mainland China and have had success with them from different traders. You have to do your research on where you are purchasing these products. Not every carbon wheel is made the same with specific standards or has warranty contact info in case of a failure. The company that manufactures these wheels is Xiamen Baiyexing Outdoor Products Co., Ltd. and is a OEM manufacutre for carbon fiber products. Do a quick google search to view their websiteDelivery:Package was shipped within a reasonable time of order. The product came from main land China and took about a week to get here. Contacted the seller since the description stated that these were housed in the USA but due to issues with amazon this item was coming from a different location. Wheels came in a non marked box and it arrived undamaged. Wheels were packed with hub guards and wrapped in Styrofoam bags. There were also a user manual, brake pads, spare spokes for front and rear wheel and valve extenders. Overall the seller did a real good job with communication.Cosmetics:The wheels looks really nice. I Went with the stealth logo look (gloss text with matte finish) and the wheels work well with my current setup. There were no noticeable defects on the brake track. The spokes and nipples looked really clean with no signs of rust. The carbon weave looks really nice. The hubs are standard and they roll really nice.Installation:Pretty much straight forward on this part... I installed a set of Continental Grandprix 4000 s2 and they went on with out a struggle. Rimt tap on the rim seems normal and will check on it as the wheels become used. I did contact superteam to ask if I we can use cork pads and I received a response within 24 hours from a lady named Ellie and she informed me it is OK to use.The ride: (will be ongoing update)So far these wheels are stiff and responsive. The Continental's are grippy tires so they ride really smooth at the moment. I have only have about 30 miles on the wheels so far and will update this review as I start to ride them more. Wheels are on the heavy side compared to my Fulcrum Quattro's or Kinlin's but its livable.Conclusion:From an initial purchase, this has been good so far... These are not going to be like the big name brand wheels that cost alot more but if you know what you are getting yourself into when buying Chinese wheels and do the research on where they come from then I do not see a problem with these wheels.Update 7-18-18AS expected these wheels have held up well for my back up bike. They have about 1600 miles on them and they are still true and spin nice. I only use these wheels in dry conditions and on flat to semi hilly roads. I would not recommend these for long mountain climbs as they heat up pretty quickly on the decent. These wheels are great for a crit course or a fast group ride. The brake pads do leave blue streaks in the brake track but it's livable. Cork pads work but do not last. Just make sure to clean the pads on a week by week basis to keep the brake track clean after long rides.I do recommend using the brake pads that come with the wheels. If you can find similar compound when it comes to replacement time these will last you a while. Again I would not recommend these wheels for Mountain climbing and descents. If you are stuck using these wheels just be cautious when using these in the mountains and DO NOT hold the brake levers when descending. These wheels require pulsing the brakes since they heat up pretty quickly.

Just put them on the bike and did my first club ride and no complaints they feel good and look better, great wheels for the price. Update after 500 miles one spoke broke good thing I was close to home. Update second spoke broke now I question the durability of the spokes.
