Title: HBX Carbon wheels?
Post by: tbgallant on January 09, 2026, 07:15:22 AM

I'm considering these wheels:

Anybody have any experience with them?  They check a lot of boxes, and aren't 'super' cheap but also seem to be quite high value. 

Cheers

Imho you can get better specs for similar price.

Dan, very open to suggestions? 

One of my 'checkboxes' is 32-34mm exterior width with 50 to 60mm depth.  I can't find too many that meet this requirement?

Also, when you say 'better specs', which specs in particular are lacking?

Thanks

Get in touch with Peter from XM CarbonSpeed (https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,5260.0.html) or Zara from Zen Carbon Wheels (https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,6093.0.html). They can spec your wheelset to your liking. You can get a very good price for a very nice light wheelset. I believe XM CarbonSpeed now even offers a 36mm wide rim (28mm internal).
