25mm GP5000 non TL works perfect on the edge rims. It measures 27.4mm on that rim (which would be perfered aero-wise compared to the 28mm, which might measure closer to 30 and bulge out on the rim)

mounting the GP5000 25mm is also no problem. No need for tire lever when mounting and removing (I also use TPU tubes)

Joegal nice to know.
This EDGE wheels comes with YAN RD13 36T ratchet hub. I hope it is loud enougth. Can someone confirm? They come with grease?
By the way, brought this wheelset yesterday. Now waiting is a torture =D

Edit: Just talked with Sukie, for more 35 USD$ i've updated the Hub from 36T ratchet to 60T.

Thank you RoadieMKD for reply.

I've contacted Elitewheels via Aliexpress app and they said if i use "Sellers Shiping method" (pay more 75,98€) then i will not pay VAT and also the delivery is faster. Yes, i have a discount code that will save 120$ on orders over 599$, so in total i'll pay 505,3$ for this 65mm wheelset (aniversary discont sale included).

About tires.. Rear i use 28mm tire, in front i have 25mm, continental gp5000 (not tubeless, i'll use RideNow TPU superlight innertubes). This Elite Edge rim width is 28mm, can i use my 25mm tire on this rim with no problems?

Hi. I'm about to buy a pair of these Elite Superlight whells, promo ends at 28 march on ALiexpress. 65mm deep (weight 1495gr.), ceramic bearings, tubeless, inner width 21 outer width 28, shimano 11v.)

Link - https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005004767705476.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.0.0.2db023nV23nVkV&mp=1&gatewayAdapt=glo2bra

1 - Can some one tell me whats the shape of these rims - U shape, V shape or mixed UV shape?

2 - They come with Pillar's Wing 20 spokes, are they aerodynamic?

3 - I'm from Portugal, what delivery options should i select to avoid VAT? I road some coments but i'm still a bit confused. I guess i shoul select "Sellers Shiping method" (more 75,98€)

This is lots of questions =) Would apreciate your coments! Thanks in advance
