Administrators SickBiker Posted July 7, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 7, 2020 Yoeleo Carbon MTB Wheels For $965. This is a short info on the test I've made in 2018: the model - 29er XC932 PRO Hookless/Tubeless Ready (LINK), front wheel weight - 686 g (15x100 mm axle), rear wheel weight - 750 g (12x148 mm Boost), wheelset weight - 1436 g (manufacturer's info for QR version - 1342 g), rider weight limit - 105 kg / 231 lbs, hubs - DT Swiss 240, spokes - Sapim CX, rim width - modern 32 mm! These wheels give you a stiff and solid platform, that weighs 1436 g for $965. As an example, my truly beloved DT Swiss XRC 1200 Spline wheelset will weigh 1480 g in Boost standard and 30 mm wide rims for $2783. Let's not forget, that the XRC 1200 wheels are built around 180 hubs, which have ceramic bearings. Nontheless the price of the Yoeleo product is pretty good. I raced on these wheels a hilly MTB marathon and had made some aggressive downhill attacks, where no lack of stiffness was felt. Overall I was very happy with the Yoeleo product and had also no problems converting to tubeless with an electrical tape and Stan's No Tubes Sealant. I can recommend this product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophi4 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 The "higher end" Chinese wheels are fine for most anyone who doesn't live in the mountains from what I hear. Today I descended several thousand feet at high speed, that's very common for me. I brake late and I brake hard. No, I don't need or want disc brakes. But I also don't want to die going 50mph down a mountain. Therefore I just can't get behind these or any other Chinese wheels, just too much at stake. I've seen far too many almost kill people with my own eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
