Author Topic: GOZONE 28mm Carbon Spoke Wheels with 52T Ratchet - is it a good deal?  (Read 328 times)

I've been keeping an eye on a set of wheels from Ali for a long time. Unfortunately, you can't find much about the manufacturer.

The wheelset has carbon spokes and in 50mm with ceramic bearings the weight should be 1285g.

At weightweenies they discussed a wheelset from gozone.

At least the hubs seem to be ok. Ali's reviews of the dealer for wheelsets are good, but rather bad when it comes to the handlebars that he also sells. The wheelset in question has already been sold 6 times on Ali, but has not yet been rated once.

With the Ali discount on black friday the price to my door with XDB-Shipping (inkludig tax) would be 600 Euro.

Unfortunately, I'm not an expert and if anyone can say something that would help me make my decision, I would be very happy!
If it's a good offer, maybe it will be interesting for some people too. If not, it is certainly a good thing if you protect buyers like me from making a mistake.

I meant November 11th instead of Black Friday.

The

I wrote to the seller a few months ago and asked if Icould get the wheelset in matt black without branding. That's probably possible, even though I had the feeling that the seller didn't understand any of my other questions. Unfortunately, a salesperson who doesn't understand anything is not the best basis.

A UCI certificate is listed in the item description, but it probably doesn't belong to the wheelset because the number of spokes doesn't match at all.

In my opinion, the wheels are good in terms of values, provided the information is correct:

carbon spokes,
tubless,
28mm wide with 21mm inner width,
T1000 Carbon, reinforced nipple pads,
Ceramic bearing, T52 ratchet,
Low weight,

Some time ago I also read a few reports about the Yuanan Wheels (identical to Elite Wheels Drive) and as far as I could remember, the ones with carbon spokes were significantly higher than this price even direkt from Yuanan.

I would definitely choose direct from yuanan then this  unknown brand.

Yuanan is tried and tested. Kelly is now managing the orders and she repaired the little mess Leon did.

They also have new wider rim profiles which I recently bought and am extremely happy with them.
