New HYPER wheels test, winter group ride and Police stop
First long ride of 2024 for me, Windsor Bun Run arranged by my friends @molokocycling
Cold and damp ride, perfect test for my new Winspace Lún HYPER 23 SE R45 wheels.
I’m wearing a kit kindly provided by Siroko Cycling, J3 softshell jacket and bibs both in size L, I’m 185cm tall and 87Kg.
If you want to shop for Siroko kit you can use my direct link to access a version of their website where prices are automatically reduced by a further 10% without the need for other codes, thank you!

One of my most enjoyable ride was riding in the wet where there was no wind, was not cold at all and just a great experience. It became the reason why I have a dedicated rain bike. As long as its not too cold amd windy I'll still ride out.

Yes, riding in the wet is not too bad. It's coming back home all wet that is not nice
Nice video ❤❤
I just discovered your channel and I greatly enjoy your videos. You have a very positive outlook on life and an abundance of charm.. Having recently moved to the beautiful south Spain (a cyclist's paradise) and now attempting to learn the language, I particularly appreciate you issuing a few phrases in Spanish. Keep up the great work and thank you. And more Spanish please!

Great video of what looks like a fun ride, Federico! Happy to hear that the new wheels are working out well. I suspect the lighter weight is responsible for the improved acceleration and hill climbing that you mentioned. I had a pair of Cadex 42 wheels (1327g) that felt like that. I'm riding Roval Rapide CLX wheels now, which are a couple of hundred grams heavier and don't feel as responsive (though they might be more aerodynamic).

@@fede1275 Good to see u are keeping rim brakes alive and viable !! In still on my Ultegra 8000 rim brakes and no thoughts of changing any time soon.
Hey Federico! I have the Lun Hyper 50 mm rim brake version. When I ride those wheels for the first time they felt so so stiff!!! And you are true you feel a lot more rode bumps it’s because of the stiffness of carbon spoke make all the difference for the stiffness compare of regular spokes. That’s why we feel a lot more the ride bumps! Maybe put some 28mm tires it will help a bit… but you still will feel rode bumbs more then the normal spoke but will help a bit compare to 25mm! Cheers from cold and snowy Montreal Quebec Canada💪🏻🚴🏻♂️

Yes, but strangely at higher speed they seem to absorb bumps better than my previous Prime wheels.

In wet conditions do you or the others you ride with not use mudguards? I don't like them but if it's wet they do really help. I use lightweight SKS Raceblades and they are good. Easy to put on/take off as required. Today here was dry so they were off, first time in a while.

Hey Fede! Yes the Hypers can be wicked fast.und tue 50's are even faster. But honestly i do not like the wet breaking performance. Sure i got no comparison go others carbon rims, only to Aluminium. So there is that. So i just avoid riding in wet conditions. Problem solved!
