Exar RB Pro vs Elite Edge Rim Brake Wheels
« on: November 16, 2024, 01:34:03 AM »
Hi All.

I own a Lemond Titanium from 2002 and would like some nice carbon wheels for it taking advantage of the current 11/11 promotion and discount vouchers on aliexpress.

I was set on going for the lighter weight and less expensive elitewheels edge 40mm but then saw the exar RB Pro in 45mm.

Anyone have any experience with either in rim brake version?

Only thing that puts me off exar is the fact that aliexpress does not seem to offer version for Campagnolo which you can select for freehub and I presume brake pads via elitewheels.

To respond to my own post, I ended up going with the Elite wheels Edge.  Magene shop on aliexpress does not seem to allow you to message them.  I emailed their website instead and got a slow response saying if you want Campagnolo freehub you have to purchase seperately.

Much easier to buy via Elite wheels with the correct freehub in the first place so that is where I placed my order.

They arrived on the 14th December.  My Campagnolo freehub, steel bearing, 40mm weighed 587g front and 684g rear.  I have installed the rim tape, my yellow veloflex corse 25mm tyres and cyclami Tpu tubes and now have to wait for better weather to test them out.

My old shamal ultra wheels will now be used for this time of year.  Unless of course I can used the elites all year round and sell the shamals.

Why would you used your wheels in winter?
