ICAN Chinese Carbon Bicycle Wheels Review by Wheelbuilder Jim Langley

This is a review of ICAN Cycling's Aero 40 Chinese Carbon road wheels https://icancycling.com/ I inspect them as a pro wheelbuilder for: 1) trueness; 2) roundness; 3) rim centering; 4) spoke length; 5) spoke tension; 6) spoke twist; 7) stress relieving; 8) rim strip fit; 9 & 10) tire installation & removal. I close with a report card on the wheels. #jimlangley #bicycleaficionado #icancycling
