How much performance is gained from upgrading your wheelset and tires? Carbon tubeless vs. Aluminum

In this video, I talk about how much of a speed increase you can expect from upgrading your wheel system from the set that came on your bike from the factory. This is a comparison of not just wheels, but of the wheel/tire/skewer package as a whole.

Disclaimer: This is not exact science. Your results may vary significantly from mine and a lot of this is my opinion.

Equipment used:

Alloy Wheelset: Shimano RS21, Shimano skewers, Vittoria Rubino Pro tires, standard butyl tubes
Carbon Wheelset: Prime RR-50 SE, Prime Skewers, Continental GP5000TL Tires, Orange Seal Endurance Sealant
Bike: Wilier Cento10AIR, Rim Brake, Ultegra Di2.

I own these products and purchased them myself.

Video equipment: DJI Mavic Air, GoPro Hero 7
