Road carbon wheels/rims, 23mm inner width

[patliean1]

Yoeleo is currently having a Black Friday sale on both their wheels and frames.

My set of C60 DB PRO wheels came in real world weight of 1373g with steel spokes. Rim specs are 23mm internal 32mm external. I imagine the C50 version will be around 1330-1350g. Yoeleo said these can pull double duty for gravel as well.

The BF sale drops the price from $1000 to $800
Full Disclosure: I do have discount code to save an additional 10% which puts these at around $720. Anyone can send me a PM for the code.

Well before I was provided any promo code from Yoeleo, I had already done a video on these wheels months ago. And I've concluded this new latest line of DB Pro wheels will make it into my Top 5 favorite (ready to ship) wheels. The specs to weight to price ratio are pretty compelling. Of course it's very tough to compete with OEM suppliers on price if you're willing to wait a few weeks for fulfillment.

I built a pair of Light Bicycle AR56's last year on DT240's with Sapim spokes. Not the lightest setup available but I've been very pleased putting about 8000km on them this Summer. I've had them on the roughest of roads and even some gravel. I find them more manageable in crosswinds than the 51mm deep Bontrager's I had on the same bike when rolling a 28mm Conti GP5000. The whole process with LB was smooth but they do take a while to ship when customized.

thanks everyone for the suggestions. actually stumbled on this comment https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,5285.msg66449.html#msg66449 the other day and reached out to the various oems as I can wait a bit. xcs doesn't seem to have what I am after, waiting to hear back from farsports and yuanan and for light bicycle: based on the builder on the site I am getting roughly $860 without shipping for the ar55s with house hubs and 1420 spokes. does that seem correct for pricing?

Or maybe I am doing something wrong? Its straight off the website, basically all the default options for the ar55 after 10% discount

What's your kickback on such sales? At ~700, it's entering OEM territory, except the OEM can maybe spec carbon spokes - although i havent compared the hubs. So it's becoming a legit deal.

My kickback is 5% which is interesting to me for the same exact reasons you mentioned. I'd guess Yoeleo is going for high volume this Black Friday.

The wheels are pretty stiff considering they are steel spokes. Yoeleo opted for 24 spokes front and rear. For such a low weight with steel, makes me wonder how light these wheels could be with carbon spokes.

I like Yoeleo's gravel frame way more than their road bikes. They were far ahead of its time with the current wide tire trend. My G21 came out two years and has clearance for 53mm tires.

have decided on farsports in the end with a 58R/50F combo. contacted them via Whatsapp on the number thats linked on the oem site. as this is my first time buying, can anyone tell me how it works? do i pay first (seems like i can do bank transfer or paypal -- which is better?) any other tips? thanks!

anyone have experience here dealing with being sent the wrong spec wheels? in this case the front depth is not what i asked for but i am basically being told to accept it ...
