H-Works vs. Elitewheels Hubs | Seeking Long-Term Feedback & Heavy Rider Testers We're in the process of selecting a new hub supplier for our wheelsets (current hubs failed during testing) and have shortlisted two candidates: H-Works and Elitewheels' supplier hubs. Looking for real-world feedback before committing.

Questions for the community:

Has anyone used H-Works hubs long-term? How's the reliability?

Has anyone used Elitewheels' carbon-spoke hubs? How do they hold up?

Any other Chinese OEM hub manufacturers you'd recommend we evaluate?

Appreciate any feedback, especially from heavier riders putting down high watts.


The Plan & Tester Call:
Once we finalize the hub choice and complete the build, we'll conduct a simulated road test. After that, we're looking for a long-term tester with the following criteria:

Rider weight 90kg+

High sustained power output

Willing to log ~500km/month on these wheels

Location: Preferably USA/EU/UK, but open to others.

Re: QILEFU - Safe or avoid? Im curious to see where this goes for you. As I wrote earlier, I got one of those. I‘m riding it a lot less at the moment and it’s my sort of beater bike for races or stuff that I don’t want to do to my „good bike“. It’s held up surprisingly well. The only gripe I have with this and many other cheap frames: The headset does come loose every now and then and needs retightening. Clearly a sign of bad tolerances. It never happens on my better frames like ever.
