Re: Xiamen Carbon Speed 10 years anniversary special promotion

Hi everyone,

As I'm a bit green in the topic, I have a question. What considerations should one have in deciding between the T800 (regular) version of the rim, versus the new T1100 which Peter mentioned they're releasing this week?
It's surely nice to shave some grams off, but other than the weight aspect, should I expect a difference in riding experience or, most importantly, durability? What's your take on this new, lighter rim, paired with steel spokes?

It depends so much on the layup that you can't make any conclusions or even serious assumptions from material alone

Re: Velobuild AERO GRAV Frame what would be the best way to cancel the order?
just contact via the website and ask for a cancel? Has anyone made the experience if they do it without any problems?

Re: Gravel wheelset - XMCarbonSpeed 53/41 or Elite Aero+ Gravel 45/40 Hi,
I can’t comment on the Elite Wheels from personal experience, but I’d still vote for Peter’s new gravel wheelset. I’ve put about 200 km on mine so far and I’m very happy with the performance. Depending on the exact build specs (hubs, spokes, carbon layup), you might even get close to the Elite price range.
Unfortunately, my last ride ended in a crash (my own fault), so I’m currently off the bike recovering. I’m sharing my detailed impressions in this thread – feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Re: XM Carbonspeed Ultra-Wide Gravel Wheelset with Titanium Spokes Hi all,
I’ve completed my first rides on the wheels – about 200 km in total. Unfortunately, my last outing ended in a self-inflicted crash, so here’s just a quick update before I post a full review once I’m back on the bike.
Roughly half of the distance was on tarmac, the other half on light gravel (what we’d call “forest Autobahn” in Germany), with only a few short singletrack sections. So far, no major climbs or descents and no technically challenging trails – that part is still to come.

pros
  • The wheels accelerate well and hold speed efficiently
  • Hubs and bearings run extremely smooth
  • Freehub engagement is flawless so far
  • Tubeless setup was easy and air retention has been excellent
  • Possibly due to the titanium spokes, there seems to be better damping of small vibrations from the surface
  • Aesthetics are great – they look as good as they ride
neutral / learnings
  • Due to the wide internal rim width, tire pressure can and should be set significantly lower compared to my previous 23 mm internal rims
  • The wheels act as a large resonance chamber and brake noises can be noticeably louder
cons
  • With the tall, lightweight rims combined with high-volume tires, cross-wind sensitivity is noticeable
  • They tempt you to ride faster than you probably should
