Why wouldn't you want your rear wheel to sound like a swarm of hornets gone wild?

I have been riding a set of Elite 50D wheels for about six months. I’ve done something like 1100mi and many, many thousands of feet of climbing. I live in the mountains. They’ve been absolutely perfect. The only complaint I have is how loud the freehub is. I would prefer silence. I’ve never been into loud ones.

@@Silidons91 Yeah, I did that. It helped immensely with my DT Swiss freehub on my mountain bike, but less so on the Elite hub. When I say I like silent, I'm not kidding. :)

The hub on my Aeulus Pro 37 wheel is whisper quiet. Cyclists who like loud hubs are kinda like people who like loud motorcycles… maybe a little dumb 🤷‍♂️

I bought a set in 50 mm depth. I didn’t make any of the measurements because I don't have a truing stand etc. But I can attest to how they feel when you let them rotate in your hands, and it is amazing. They have ceramic bearings, and time will tell how they hold up. As for riding them, they're quite stiff and strangely silent compared to carbon wheels with more conventional spokes like Sapim cx-ray. (Until you coast, and then they sound like an apocalyptic hoarde of angry hornets.) Interestingly, the 28-mm Pirelli tires that I mounted (with tubes) measure closer to 30 mm, presumably because of the wheel inner width, but they are almost perfectly flush with the outside of the wheel, people who know this stuff say is optimal for aerodynamics. That also means I can ride them at quite low tire pressure, which makes them super comfortable. They are the best wheels I have ever ridden, and hopefully they will stay that way. By the way I mounted them on a new Yoeleo R12 road bike frame with an Ultegra Di2 groupset. All-in-all I think this bike build compares well with high-end bikes that cost 2 to 2.5 times as much.

​@pb2815 So far great but its only been 4 months or so. (Probably ~ 1200 miles, as its not the only bike I ride). Edit added. They are now making a creaking sound when I put a lot of power in lowering gears. It went away when I put a different wheel on.

@@stuartdryer1352 I appreciate the reply! So it wasn't a bearings failure? The original ceramics are still running well? Do you have any mileage estimate on them? Thanks! Buying these wheels today and can't decide between steel and ceramic bearings. The price difference is minuscule, like 30 USD, but if they're going to fail quickly I'd just rather stick to longer-lasting steel

riding the eltitewheels 50d for the last 6-7 months. Got it for 1000 usd in the black friday sale. Best wheelset till date. I am from india and roads are worse here. I am also a heavy rider. No problems till date

Yes, I'll be doing a big video with a comparison. The hard thing is putting enough miles on them to make it a fair test. 👍🏽

taxes included according to the website which makes that £900 look even better. Weight of the 50mm 1350ish grams. Carbon spokes and only 28mm outer puts me off though as I run 28/30mm tyres. Very good price for the spec of the wheel though compared to what you can buy in the UK. My Prime Primvera 56 are 1620g and they cost me just under £600

What tire width would you recommend on it? 28c or 32c to optimize its aero

When checking for run out, Wouldn't be better to measure on the inside of the wheel where the tire is mounted? When checking the outside, there could always be slight deviation like the decals that would not matter. But checking the runout area of the hook on the rim, wouldn't that be the most accurate? Also the inside of the rim where the tire mounts. That would effect how true the tire would be.

@JourdainColeman

Yeah, that could be a good idea 🤔 - Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try and remember that for the next video.

@JourdainColeman, where is the on road review we are waiting for? :) Also, does tubeless valves have removable core? Can I use those valves to insert sealant through them? Have you tested them on the road? Are you going to do a video on that?

Should I choose the mixed option which is available on their website and go for 50mm in the front and 65mm at the back or should I just stick with 50mm front and back?

Excellent,
