Ace Sprint carbon wheels on Aliexpress

[Wildh24]

Quick update on these. Had a chance to go for a short spin on these.  They're quick!  Definitely can feel the roughly 1 lb less weight than my prior set on getting them up to speed. There were some very small spoke adjustments I made to get the trueness perfect. These, and I'm sure most carbon spoke wheels, require a 5.5mm hex socket wrench from the rim side to adjust spoke nipples. Took me a bit to figure that out.  I like the design, but it does require retaping to adjust spokes.

I'll have to report back after some longer term use but initial rides were positive.

Any chance of a longer term update?

Any chance of a longer term update?

I've got about 300 miles on them.  Zero issues. Ended up getting a different bike with disc brakes and I've got another order in with them.

Not quite as quick on the second order in term of delivery due to some delays in spoke availability, but I like them enough that I didn't hesitate on a second set.

Hey, I am thinking about ordering a Ace Sprint full disc wheel aswell. Is your disc still fine? Which shipping did you choose? The seller recommended me the dpd shipping for 75 dollar. Thank you in advance!

I will keep you posted, when i ordered it! Current price is around 395 dollar incl. dpd shipping (hopefully custom declaration free to germany) for 28mm full disc, disc brake wheel incl. normal 36t ratchet.

Have since sold that wheel and bike but my wife and I both used it for the entire summer race season without any issue. $395 is a great price. I would suggest the upgraded shipping. It only takes about a week vs sometimes 3 or more weeks.

I've also had good experiences with gozone.

I got their Super light Disc and newer Tri spoke (they upgraded me to the newer one after I bought the older one, maybe they didn’t make it anymore or would have taken longer who knows). Ordered Tri Spoke during Choice Day and Disc during 11.11 and stacked those discounts with some coins to get them both for sub £600.

Fingers crossed they’re decent enough quality

Interested to see the Tri spoke.

The disc is good quality. It's exactly the same as the nine velo disc which is in the $1200 range. Just be aware that with the ultra light weight, it sacrifices a bit of lateral stiffness. So if you have super tight clearance on your rear stays, you might get a bit of brake or tire rub on hard efforts (standing up hill).  Personally it can be an issue on my Cervelo p3x.

I went with a different disc on the p3x which was from Gozone.  It's about 200gr leaving but stiffer.  I prefer this gozone disc overall. It gives a bit more clearance on the drive side so if you are running an OSPW RD you don't have as much a chance of rubbing against the disc. I personally prefer the Gozone disc wheel for that reason but it is more expensive.

I have 3 other sets of wheels from Ace sprint varying from 60mm to 80mm depths. All carbon spokes. They're great wheels. Well built with smooth hubs. No complaints at all. Shipping can take a little longer if you make customizations like decals or finishes, but Edwin communicated well.
