Hi,

just found a wheelset on Ali with shipping within EU, which is nice for all the people from the EU since you don't have to care about taxes and shipping is fast. They come with a Powerway R13 hub, videos on youtube are available for servicing those.

Price seems to be fair, Prime RR-50 wheels cost 540€ on wiggle, thus a bit more. Couldn't find anything about the manufacturer of the wheels, is shouldn't be Elitewheels n either Superteam.

Anybody has a clue on what wheels those are? I'm just 65 kg, that's why I'm a little bit on the confident side of not destroying the wheels immediately.

Green Bike Store is a reseller of SuperTeam wheels (which you can buy on Amazon, Aliexpress, or direct on their website). Those ones are the unlabeled version of the Superteam from my understanding.  I own 2 sets from SuperTeam wheels both 50mm deep and 25mm outer width with U shaped profile (not their 23mm V-shaped). One set in tubeless (when they first released it a 5 years back) and one clincher. Both sets has been fine for me and I am a 79kg rider. Their 50mm x 25mm are UCI approved if that matters https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005306410516.html (in fact you can get it custom built for your needs, decal colours, finish, etc. may be extra lead time).

Only down side is the weight, they are heavier than the more modern 50mm deep carbon wheels but they are solid.

The "factory direct" ones I think you might not get to customize and just get the blank rims with standard build up. My custom ones all had to be shipped from China.
