I got them in September of last year. I have a set of the ultra light rims with 16 and 18 carbon spokes. I’ve ridden them on rough trails, bombed then down mountains, and packed them tight in bike boxes to fly. No issues. Still true. The layup is thin. You can squish it on the sides with your hand. However, in the vertical plane, they are incredibly stiff and sturdy. The tension on the spokes is very tight, and pulling the layup at an angle. I’m not surprised it deforms the inside of the rim a bit. I’m not very concerned about anything catastrophic, and I’d guess Peter would take care of me if I had a problem due to an engineering or manufacturing issue

Anyone else have this wobble "issue" with their wheel?


In the bike

same wheel in my truing stand.

These are new wheels, has about 60 miles on them.  After the first ride I checked the wheels and found this wobble, it's on the front wheel only and the rear appears to be fine.  What's odd is the wheel is still true, and the spokes tension is still even and consistent, only the inner part of the wheel has this wobble.

I spoke to Peter and he said it's normal.  He mentioned because of the ultralight carbon layup, the spokes can pull and deform the carbon to make this wobble.

Wheel model is
D58CU-33 26mm IW T1100 with HS606 hubs and 3.2mm carbon spokes.  Weight is 1165g.

System weight is about 75kg.

You guys have any thoughts on this and does anyone else have this issue on their wheel??

Also, why doesn't the rear wheel have this issue as well?

Peter told me to post in the forum as others have mentioned this? where?

I actually noticed this the other day and was confused for a second until i checked the trueness of the wheel at the rim edge and found it to be good. I believe it’s normal

I reached out to Jim about pre ordering just now. Seems like a great frame to swap between road and gravel with two wheelsets. Hoping I can sell my Santa Cruz MtB and Hygge frameset to consolidate down to a single bike

Elitewheels saw this post and reached out to me to honor the warranty contingent on deleting this post. I refused to delete my post, so Elitewheels ghosted me:

We haven't receive your reply about the replace rim , do you have any question about the solution ? if you don't agree with it ,  you can

You can talk about your demands. We have seen on social media that you are not satisfied with the handling of this customer complaint. We are sorry that this issue has left you dissatisfied. We would like to communicate with you for a better solution

I understand that the ENT 2.0 is a value wheelset and margins are limited, so I am not asking for anything unreasonable. I would simply appreciate the wheel being warrantied with a replacement rim. I can handle the rebuild myself, as arranging a warranty wheel build in California is quite expensive. I’d also appreciate some replacement nipples as wheel builders online seem to recommend replacing when re-lacing the spokes for safety

After we applied to our company , we can provide you a new replace rim , some replace nipples can be included ,  but we hope that you can deleted the bad comments on social media first .
...
It is difficult to say that is a quality issues on the product itself , hope you can understanding it . 

But this time , we can provide you a new replace rim  , after you delect the comment , then tell us ,  we will start to make it for you , ok ?

Thank you for offering a replacement rim and nipples; I’m happy to update my forum thread once the replacement is shipped/received and the issue is resolved, but I can’t delete my post as a condition for warranty support. I understand impacts can spike tire pressure, however I did not have any notable impacts (no pothole strike/curb hit/crash) that should reasonably damage the rim, and the listing describes the pressure as “recommended,” which in English is generally guidance, not a maximum limit that voids warranty. If there is a hard maximum, the product information should state “maximum” clearly so riders know it is not safe to go higher. Please confirm if you can proceed with the replacement and share shipping/tracking when available.

Just get larger rotors and tweak your pads and call it a day. I think peak torque makes some adapters. I assume there are cheap ali versions as well. Experimenting with Chinese calipers mixed with Shimano levers isn't the safest imo. You can get a massive jump in performance by increasing rotor size alone

I'm sorry, but no way that weight is realistic...

yeah, i didn't think so either

i'm on 105 di2, 1230g 18/16 carbon spoke ultra light XMCS wheels, my pedals are 114g lighter, my saddle is 35g lighter, 32c tires, Magene TEO carbon cranks saving 200g, and I'm at 7.65kg

Nice build! 6.25kg is crazy. I build the model s myself with
_ SRAM mixed Force & Rival AXS 2x12 w/ powermeter (46/33 10-36)
_ ELITEWHEELS ENT 2.0
_ ONIRII PD-06 (Titanium Axle)
_ RYET AIRCODE saddle
_ Continental Grand Prix 5000

It came out at 7.7kg. Frame size is L. I am struggling to see where my additional 1.5kg are coming from.



It's your wheels, and cranks if you don't have carbon cranks. Although your weight isn't half bad

Is it better to just replace the bearings while the wheels are new or just wait for them to need replacement?

Just wait unless you’re racing. Less wear on the bearing seats

Received my Model S last year missing a thru axle. Reached out for them to ship me one out, then decided to get one off Amazon while I waited. They forgot to send one out and I didn't bother reaching out as I had the Amazon one

Decided to dig through my inbox the other day and ask for a replacement derailleur hangar instead and they obliged and are sending one out now

Still pretty happy with this frame. If I had to do it over again, I'd prob go with a lighter endurance oriented frame with clearance for gravel, but when I bother to tuck in the aero position, this is a fast frame. Easy to zoom on the flats

Check out my experience here:
https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,6322.msg87964.html#msg87964

I need to update the thread. Elitewheels found the thread and reached out again after denying my claim. Agreed to send me out a rim and nipples so I could repair the wheel, but only if I delete the post.

I don't think I'm going to. I'll probably just update the post with screenshots and ask Peter to make me a new rim for the hub and spokes and include it in my next XMCS order

following. was super confused on my first ride with these cranks. heard the plastic preload collar jiggling around as it had become undone. thought there was something wrong with my wheelset and was stuck on the side of the trail making sure they weren't going to delace

13
iirc there's a new C606 Pro model. That's likely what they're referring to

The Hygge has a thread here with proper reviews, and the elite is just a repainted open mould iirc. I had a purchase order through Ali that I needed to cancel with Elite SLR. I asked repeatedly and they kept trying to convince me to go through with the purchase instead of cancelling. I eventually just got Ali customer support to handle it and they refunded me. They also ship out a little bike computer and set that as the tracking number while they work on the frame to inflate their shipping speed rating

I'd go Hygge

I'm interested but only really willing to pay around the cost of a KOCEVELO or similar branded bar on Ali. These dimensions fit me, but no spacers + used

DM if you think we could make something work. I have PayPal
