Wheels came in today!  First impression is WOW!  Finish and build is fantastic. I really wasn't expecting the logos to be of high quality but they are maybe some of the best I've seen on wheels. They are not busy stick on decals.   

Weight for 60/75 came in at 1320 gr.  That's in line with climbing wheels from a decade ago! 

Disc is 963gr with valve stem.

Shipping was about 8 days.  Shipped via FedEx to the USA.

Pictures below.   

I won't be able to report on ride for a while. It's winter here and roads are a mixed bag.

My only complaint would be that I was expecting the rear hub to be a star ratchet with ceramic bearings.  It's a 3 pawl hub with what look like standard steel bearings. This isn't the end of the world but different than what was communicated.

Is the 60/75 set 26mm wide at the brake track? I'm looking for set of wheels for my Venge and I did have Ace Sprint wheels in my radar, but ended up passing on them.

I no longer have those wheels since I ordered disc brake wheels, but yes they were 26 wide at the track.

Disc brake versions you can get 26 or 28.

Thanks for pointing me towards this manufacturer.

As I am fairly new to components and bikes in general. What would be the best hubs when it comes to value? I see a lot of mention around DT 240, but weight wise the 36R Carbon is equally light

If I were to go most bang for the buck what would you advice me to buy for a disc wheel set from Ace Sprint as of now?

Are looking for Disc brake wheels or rear disc?  Confused on the question

How deep of a wheel? 

I'm a big fan of carbon spoked wheels and for just all around riding 50-60mm depth. 28+mm external width.

Go zone makes a nice wheel as well.  And Superteam is a great value.

I have experience with all three.  All have been good for me. All are somewhat similar.

Was aiming for 50-60mm and somewhere in the range of 500-700$

Placed an order for a single 30mm front rim for $190 AUD shipped including tax. Incredibly cheap compared to all other options. A full wheelset is more cost effective but I didn't really want to splash out any more money on rim brake bikes.

Communication with the Acesprint is great. Whoever runs it has great English and is easy to communicate with.

The only downside is its not mentioned anywhere it will take 2 weeks to manufacture on top of the 2-3 weeks for shipping. This was only mentioned when asking for an update when the wheel hadn't shipped in about 10 days. I was hoping to have a spare wheel for an upcoming tri in case of strong winds.
I initially cancelled the order. With Easter coupons I ended up reordering the wheel saving about $30 from my first order.

I wish their aliexpress store had a more user friendly layout. It's a bit here and there trying to compare different combinations of wheels

Will update when the rim arrives

I'm not sure what they'll use for shipping service, but Edwin at acesprint  shipped mine via FedEx and it only took about 6 days to USA. Super quick actually. Might be worth asking if they can do the same for you?

AceSprint only charged $8 shipping vs all other stores starting at $50. They did offer the option for EMS but that was $60 USD, after exchange its about $100 AUD, making a single rim cost over $300.
Might as well buy a cheapy wheelset
