Serenade 4550 Wavy Wheelset SUB 1200g steel spokes 500USD

[Jeager]

I might have overlooked these previously but spotted these today:

https://serenadebikes.net/23mm-internal-high-performance-aero-bike-wheels-build-with-carbon-fiber-spokes-p6704522.html

1280g +/- 3% in a 60mm deep (23mm IW, 34 EW) rims, 20h 3.3mm carbon spokes, SR278 hubs. With the 5% coupon code USD 600 dollars / GBP 468 delivered including taxes. I have just ordered these with no decals, and drain holes installed.

Not quite as wide internally as what you're suggesting as the sweet spot, but not far off. I have to say I'm thoroughly impressed with my 1450g sr268 hub wheels with 24h CX rays spokes. They are surviving rough Oxfordshire roads on my R088 very well.

Can those wheels works for road and gravel bike ? The endurance bike I bought was with 30mm tires and I'm fine with that (might even go with 32 later) but Id like to maybe reuse them later on a second bike

23mm inner rims, fit 28mm tire but capable of handling gravel tires up to 50mm wide.

Got the 50mm Wave Whape wheelset and used since approx 11 August. According to Strava covered approx 400 miles in mostly nearly all dry conditions. Wheels have been all good expect that front and rear bearings are completely shot. Rear seized and fronts on the way out.

Maybe a one off on a bad set of bearings but worth checking your bearings. Good news is contacted Serenade and they had no issues posting out a new set.

Today I got my 650b Gravelwheelset 30mm deep and 27mm inner and 33mm outer width, they weigh 1240g without rimtape (which was supplied, incl. 2 sparespokes and 2 tubeless valves). I'm no expert and haven't been able to test them as I'm still waiting for my tires to arrive (thunder burts 2.1) but so far they look good. Will report back once I tested them a bit.

I'm already thinking of getting a second wheelset and would be happy to get your advice and opinion. I have a Canyon CF SL which I would like to fit with carbon wheels. I probably will transfer the wheels someday to a new build (something like a Spcycle X70, X68 LTK-266 SL).
I thought on getting 50mm deep ones.
Marya offered me a wheelset with 24mm innerwidth, SR278C hubs, carbon spokes, and a advertised weight of around 1160. What are your toughts, would that be a suiting and futureproof wheelset? I plan on running 32 GP5000 on the rims.

Happy to hear your thoughts on that

Just a follow up that new set of 6x SKF bearings arrived and have been installed. These seem to be an upgrade from stock but I'm no engineer or bearing expert. These are the new bearings - https://www.acorn-ind.co.uk/p/skf/single-row-deep-groove-ball-bearings/6210-2z-skf/

Wheels are running perfectly now - thanks again to Serenade for resolving.

Bought my wheelset. 50mm depth, 23mm inner and 34mm outer. Wing20 with brass nipples and SR248 hubs. Should be around 1320g. Should get it in less than a month, and then i will update with what I think about the wheels. Talked via Whatsapp with Marya. Easy communication and fast responses.
Now I just wait to receive the wheels hope the wheels will be quick and reliable.

Got my wheels last week. Bought 14th Aug, sent 29tg Aug and received in Portugal 4th September. I think box could come with more protection, but in my case the box come without any damage. Weight was 1300g without tape.
Its my first carbon wheels, so I cant compare to others. But by looking they are amazing. Done like 200km right now, and they feel good. A bit faster than my alloy stock wheels. Need more rides to tell how much faster. Only thing I noticed less positive is that there is a bit of rotor rubbing while out of the saddle. I also installed new rotors, so maybe could help reset the pistons... I did a bit of riding with some wind and didnt felt unstable, sure it moves a bit, but pretty predictable (this with 32mm gp5000 that measure around 33mm in this rim).

There's probably a good reason why not mant people order 3K glossy 😁 but yeah, curious to see the result on your bike

Why do you think that is? People just prefer more subtle look? I'm over compensating  because my last bike was all black/gray and I want something that pops now!

For reference this is what 3K glossy is (from 7Tbikes website)

Yeah I think people is playing it safe. Plain black wheels match every bike. The 3K finish needs matching finishes on the frame and so.

The front wheel will match the rear wheel and vice versa!  . This is one the situations where I really like the carbon fiber appearance unlike interior crap which looks like carbon fiber but isn't. I went with only 30mm deep rims so I don't think it will be too imposing.

Unrelated, how long did it take folks to for their wheels to ship and/or be delivered to the USA from the date of payment? I can't seem to get an actual estimate from them...
