ELITEWHEELS - My cheapest carbon wheels from AliExpress!

I bought a set of EliteWheels from AliExpress last year. So after nearly 2000km, how have they held up?

I love deep section carbon fibre wheels!!! They feel great to ride, decrease wind drag, and look amazing. BUT the big brands like Mavic, Zipp, and Roval, can charge a small fortune for their offerings.

However, AliExpress saves the day again, and last year I bought a 50mm deep section, disc specific, tubeless ready carbon wheelset from a seller called EliteWheels. They only cost me £265 (which makes them the cheapest carbon wheelset I have EVER bought), and so far I have ridden them 1183 miles, or 1904km.

For the price paid, I have been really impressed with them, but they do have a few flaws. The stock hubs are not amazing, without upgrading the spokes they are not very light, and I had an issue mounting the tubeless tyres to the rim.

But in this episode, I will go into detail around the construction, the setup, how they ride, and ultimately the pros and cons of these disc brake road bike wheels.

Got any questions or comments, stick them below 👇 and I'll try and get back to as many of you as I can!

About Trace Velo:
I love cycling, and I love getting pro cycling kit for less. If it’s cheap, from China, and made of carbon fibre, I’m interested!
