Thanks for the info JOM. I have the Pathfinder Pro tires on my bike currently. Fast rolling for most conditions and no punctures. Might consider looking at Roval next time I upgrade wheels.

You're welcome, and good luck with whatever decision you make!

I have a set of the Terra C’s. These are great wheels for the money! I have Pirelli cinturado gravel H tires mounted to them. The weight is reasonable and this combination is fast and versatile as long as the trail doesn’t get too chunky. Upon servicing the free hub on DT Swiss 370 hubs, I discovered that they had the star ratchet system in 18 points of engagement which can be easily upgraded to the 54 points of engagement. This will happen down the road at some point!

Did your hub start squeaking? I’ve had 3 different sets of Terra C wheel sets with hub failure.

@@stabizzle6026 it did start to squeak. At first I thought it was derailleur pulleys. It turned out to be the inboard bearing of the freehub body. Of all the bearing in the hub it’s really the most exposed. It has no real dust cover so it’s the easiest contaminated. I’ve seen them fail before on DT Swiss hubs. I did discover that this hub uses a star ratchet system as opposed to a 2 or 3 pawl system. The star ratchet is an upgrade.

Before this wheels came out i had the roval c38 and i hated them but i do know your reviews are pretty damn accurate and we all thank you for that i wound up getting lun grapids from winnpace and after a year have yet to have any issues whatsoever not taking nothing away from this review but im very happy with my decision perhaps one day you can do a review on the lun grapid wheelset

Hi JOM! How the Terra C compare to the Far Gravel Wheelset you also reviewed? Torn between the 2 wheelset as an upgrade for the season. Thank you!

Aeolus Pro 3V TLR got straight pull spokes, 108 engagements (compared to 18 on the Roval), no weight limit, limitless warranty, at similar weight and the same price as the Terra C, at least where I live. Not sure how how the Roval can compete here. The only thing I prefer on the Roval is 30 mm outer width, which is the sweetspot for mixed tire use in my opinion. My GP5000 28's reach 31.5 mm on the Aeolus (32 mm outer width), which is fairly wide but still great for endurance though.

My opinion as BAP 3V owner for a year and a half and a few thousand km: They really aren't strong enough for my gravel riding. They have been out of true after a single 165km race and the front bearings have seen better days. Worse, freehub is so noisy it's a constant pain, and I often find my self pedaling to get some quite. Have tried to mitigate by taking out 3of the pawls (=less engagements) but doesn't help much. And the tubeless band in them adds 150g pr wheel, which is not incl in official weight. I have taped mine instead but the seating is a bit of a pain. They are fast, I like the profile and width, and I got them at a good price, but I am not a fan. Looking at selling to get a set of Roval Terras. I know the hubs and tubeless system is superior at least (have a set of CL50s).

@@trykpaa Interesting to hear! Just checked mine. Front wheel is about 0.5 mm out of true, after about 2000 km on them including a 1000 km bikepacking trip with heavy offroad passages, about 90 kg total (incl. bike). So I'm fairly happy with mine. Still using the stock TL band though, got the tape ready for the next tire change. But 100% agree about the pawls. 108 engagements ride brilliantly on rough terrain, and some people enjoy loud hubs, but I definitely hate it. Come to think of it I'll at least grease it with some heavier grease to reduce noise (withing operability). At least for the DT 370s on the Terra C I can attest that they're fairly quiet.

Thanks for the video 👍🏼 Any chance of having a review for the WTB CZR I23 wheelset? I'm not finding much on them other than from WTB. Im considering the Roval but curious about the czr wheels as well.

Good news, I have those wheels in my possession for review :) I'm a little behind, but I may knock out a quick features video as a teaser?

Hey JOM - You seated these with the chamber pump. Have they changed the hook? Like your CLX video, I battle with seating CLX’s and have to use a compressor. Heaven help me with a tire that’s been on and off a few times, even with a compressor. I have tubolito’s just in case I break a bead in the forests as I cannot see 1 Co2 reseating the tire after a big burp (or a big puncture needing a tube).

Hi Dave, the CLX wheels in my full length review video, and this little feature video, are among the first pairs made. As you can see, I had no problems seating any tyres, but, I've experienced your issue with tyres that have been stretched out from a couple of mount jobs. I suggest adding another layer of tape, even a third if needed. I find that completely solves the problem of looser fitting tyres, that even a compressor won't mount. Good luck!

Great review as usual, but was just waiting to hear the weight of the ‘lightest’ pair? 🤔👍
