Re: Delamination on Elitewheels ENT 2.0 @ 80 PSI. Claim denied. Fair or My Fault? There's a story about the EDGE wheelset.
They originally claimed 120kg max weight and pressure up to 120psi. A guy bought them from alix exactly because of those specs. Yes, he double-checked with the shop about the working pressure (90-120psi), and they confirmed it. According to them, some fancy light carbon was used that didn't compromise strength, ofc. And guess what, after a short while, running the specified high pressure, the rear wheel shattered during a ride (yeah, delamination thing).
Elitewheels fuqed around for some time with classic: "please close the dispute friend, we will send (or already sent) a new replacement friend, trust me bro and close the dispute". Eventually, alix stepped in and asked for a formal diagnostic certificate from a workshop to confirm it was unrideable. The guy did the stuff, sent the docs and got a full refund.
Happy end! Kind of.
PS: the dispute took three months.

too early to service but thinking down the road, what tools is needed for the SR278C hubs? I think it needs a special tool like DT swiss to remove the ratchet ring in order to remove the bearings?

No ratchet tool required.

The 15267 bearing is smaller than the ratchet ring.

Re: Serenade 4550 Wavy Wheelset SUB 1200g steel spokes 500USD My wheels have finally arrived and made their maiden voyage.

https://serenadebikes.net/23mm-internal-high-performance-aero-bike-wheels-build-with-carbon-fiber-spokes-p6704522.html
50 mm deep, 5 mm carbon spokes, silver hubs, HG freehub; weighted at 1196 g (without tape)

Paired with GP5000 in 30 mm version (clincher version, measured at 31 mm) and TPU inner tubes they feel fast and noticeably more comfortable than my previous wheels with Sapim CX steel spokes. The ratchet also has a nice metallic sound to it ...

Re: Serenade 4550 Wavy Wheelset SUB 1200g steel spokes 500USD Some models are already available.

25mm inner.

It's not the lightest, but it's definitely stable.

Re: Serenade 4550 Wavy Wheelset SUB 1200g steel spokes 500USD Received my gravel wheels (32int, 50deep) today. 4 weeks from payment to receival in Germany.
Including free spare spokes, valves and installed tubeless tape.
Definitely one of the best values out there currently.

Re: Serenade 4550 Wavy Wheelset SUB 1200g steel spokes 500USD Received my wheels today. Package was nice and secure, came with tubeless valves, 2 spare spokes and tubeless tape.

On my scale the weight was 1430g (-10g from their own spec sheet) before tape.

Total time:

Ordered on - 15.June
Shipped out on - 20. July (35 days)
Received on - 30. July (10 days)

As you can see the shipping took a lot longer than the initial promise of 15 days, additionally there was radio silence on their end over the delay - I had to be the one to provoke to get answers.

Other than that, initial impressions are very good and I got exactly what I was after. The delay to be honest was expected (seems to be the norm, rather than exception on this forum in general). Will keep this thread updated as time goes on and riding impressions.
