Ultralight Ryet carbon wheelset
« on: August 26, 2025, 10:45:07 AM »
I found these wheels, which I could get for around €600 total, and they're very light compared to the competition, but I can't find any feedback.

For info, I weigh 60kg dressed, but I'd still like to avoid hitting the asphalt face-on!  :-\

Do you have any suggestions or alternatives?

Ryet have traditionally had pretty crappy rim QC. Considering how much more sensitive such light rims are to manufacturing error, you'd hope they'd do better here... We can't know who makes the hubs for sure, but I'm confident it's not H-Works, which makes another point of uncertainty for quality. Couldn't guess who makes the spokes either, other than saying it's not STREN, but the recipe seems so well known at this point I wouldn't be too scared.

For these specs and price, there doesn't seem to be anything competitive. The margins have to come from somewhere though.

The 21mm inner width is a downer. I'd look at Easedon, Urkesport, Tagoola, or Go-Zone instead who are all pretty close to that mark at the same price (or cheaper) and with wider rims.

Same as raisinberry
Would buy a Ryet saddle but not wheels
Plenty if good OEMs like they said
I use Zen carbon you could get a better quality wheel for the same price.
Tagoola, Seranade etc

What a time for a weight weenie to be alive hey?

That's a super impressive weight. I paid a LOT LOT LOT LOT LOT more money for wheels that are only 200g lighter not too long ago.

As much as I hate Ryet as a brand I'm actually cheering that they're selling wheels aimed at weight weenies. Looks like affordable sub 1000g wheelsets will be the norm soon.

I confess that I had my eye on the Ryet ones to avoid the hassle of contacting, asking, etc, I'm lazy!  ::)

Since 2022, I've been using Farsport Feder wheels with satisfaction, 21mm internal width and 30mm depth, with DT240 hubs, weight ~1.250g.

I'm happy with the 21mm wide Farsports and Conti GP5000 25mm with latex inner tube inflated to around 5bar and for my weight of 60kg I don't see the need for wider tyres or rims.
I also tried 28mm tires, but didn't notice any difference.
For some reason, I've always thought that wider wheels are better for heavier weights, feel free to explain to me if that isn't the case.  ;D

For my new SPCycle r088 build I wanted a pair of new ultralight wheels with a depth of 40 or 50mm max to be combined with the Conti GP 5000 25mm.
I'd prefer 40 or 45, I'm afraid of the wind!

Thanks for your suggestions!

I've actually been reading it for a while now, but there's always more to learn!  ;D

All the solutions you mentioned are interesting, but I don't see any discussions about them. Can you give me more information? Brand and model, please.  ;D

There are active threads discussing Zen Carbon, XM Carbon Speed, Tagoola, and Seranade.
When buying wheels from OEM manufacturers, you're not just picking something off the shelf—you’re getting a bespoke build. You can customise nearly every aspect:

Spokes: Steel or carbon
Hubs: A range of options to suit your needs
Rim depth and width: Tailored to your riding style
Rim profile: Wavy or standard
Finish: UD (paintless), marble, glossy, and more

This level of customisation offers far more flexibility than typical AliExpress listings
