Serenade 4550 Wavy Wheelset SUB 1200g steel spokes 500USD

[Sebastian]

So how did this wheelset become over twice the price in just one half of a year?  Might be time to change that title.

Not sure what you mean? I’m seeing these on the site for the same price as always. Starting with 529 USD. There’s also a 25internal/34external version now and a version with 21 carbon spokes, albeit not that much lighter.

Hello GammaDriver,
You may be located in the United States. It's true that shipping fees went up around two months ago. Although our current shipping costs are higher, this allows for quicker delivery and helps you avoid customs delays.

For any after-sales service within a two-year period, including replacing parts, we'll use the same shipping method. This identical service is also provided for customers in the EU and UK.

Got pictures of my wheels today from Marya.

These are the ones:

As mentioned I got the 60mm deep UD Matte option with CX Ray spokes. Marya has said they weigh 1450g, which is 3.5% more than the claimed 1400g weight. I'm ok with that as these are not for a weight weenie type build and I am by cycling standards a heavier rider.

Hopefully they get posted soon. Will be interesting how long it takes to get to UK and whether the DPD shipping gets a customs charge or not.

Mine took 6 days to NW UK but even Marya was surprised by that 😂

Now that's pretty quick 🤞

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Like I said in my review earlier in this thread, I love how these feel for flat courses. Also, I personally think that 23internal is a bit of a sweet spot for 28-30c tires, resulting in a round cross section and good handling.

I'll be sure to post my thoughts. I am also interested to see how these ride compared to my recently purchased XMCS wheels. I love those wheels so far!

I've got 28mm michellin power cups I'll be putting on these wheels with tpu tubes.

@serenadebikes:

Is there a possibility of reviving the discount code posted here before? 

[reckonair]

Marya gave me one over WhatsApp when I was ordering, it was only 5% but it’s better than 0% I suppose

We usually post discount codes on our website, but you can also ask me or my colleagues for them. Based on past experience, shipping costs will continue to rise starting in September, and we will adjust our rates accordingly.

Is there any video of rear hub sound? I like loud hubs.

I'm very interested of buying one of these wheelset. Is this equal to elitewheels?

What is difference between carbon or steel spokes?

I asked this question and they sent me this:

Yeah, sorry folks - I think I ended up on some other set of wheels that they sell that were more expensive.  My fault.

Did just ordered a pair of TRW60s with the SR248 hub, 23 mm internal, 34 outer. Just paid 559 dollars true bank transfer with shipping to Sweden. Also looked at the 55/60 option they have on offer, which comes in a bit lighter(think the claimed weight was 1350 something). But after some messages back and forth on whatsapp they recommended me the regular 60s with sapim x-rays. First looked at the lightest options with the pillar 1417 but they advised me against that. All of the communication was clear and fast. Looking forward to trying the wheels out when they arrive!
Got an picture of the wheelset on the scale, 1417 grams
Looked at CarbonSpeedCycle first, but then found this thread and eventually ended up with these. The CSC alternative was a bit heavier claimed weigth(1480), smaller internal(21), but a bit less(510isch).
Excited to try them out!
