Hello.
Any one received and can give feedback? Is it the same as magene c606? Does it have climbpro?
I have seen mixed reviews of the c606, but with the geoid price I'm tempted.

+1 using van rysel D100. Works great. But im only using last 3 or 4 months, so cannot talk about reliability. But with decathlon and europe 3 years warranty, should be no problem. If you dont plan racing, the 600W max power limit should not be a problem

I can confirm that IIIPro A2 ultra light high disc brake (160mm centerlock) is good. I have done like 300km and its at least the as good (but lighter) as my cheap heavy shimano rotors. Did yesterday a granfundo with some descending and nothing to worry about. I cant talk about durability.

Bought my wheelset. 50mm depth, 23mm inner and 34mm outer. Wing20 with brass nipples and SR248 hubs. Should be around 1320g. Should get it in less than a month, and then i will update with what I think about the wheels. Talked via Whatsapp with Marya. Easy communication and fast responses.
Now I just wait to receive the wheels hope the wheels will be quick and reliable.

Got my wheels last week. Bought 14th Aug, sent 29tg Aug and received in Portugal 4th September. I think box could come with more protection, but in my case the box come without any damage. Weight was 1300g without tape.
Its my first carbon wheels, so I cant compare to others. But by looking they are amazing. Done like 200km right now, and they feel good. A bit faster than my alloy stock wheels. Need more rides to tell how much faster. Only thing I noticed less positive is that there is a bit of rotor rubbing while out of the saddle. I also installed new rotors, so maybe could help reset the pistons... I did a bit of riding with some wind and didnt felt unstable, sure it moves a bit, but pretty predictable (this with 32mm gp5000 that measure around 33mm in this rim).

I absolutely do have a long term review. I already have a short term review I posted a while back of the IIIPro (linked by jonathan above) on my gravel bike compared to the SM-RT64 rotors. I loved them a lot and after scary brake fades that could have killed me on ultegra rotors I decided to get them on my road bike as well. I was a pretty average descender, not very confident before.
Swapping to iiipro was the biggest upgrade I've made to my bike, easily. I feel invincible. They've been tested at 85kmh, down the galibier (top 6% on strava), izoard (top 8%), ballon d'alsace (top 4%) and plenty more. I was a top 30-40% type of descender on ice tech rotors. I might end up on going through a terrone's windshield but I'm not going off the road.
Running them with R8000 rear brake with stock pad and R7100 front with bucklos ceramic pads. High center of gravity, hoods only, no supertuck. Needless to say the rest of my setup could be improved but the rotors alone made a HUGE difference.
They haven't reversed my hairline or brought her back, but they're really impressive. If you are still buying shitmano rotors, what the hell are you doing?

(iiipro please sponsor me)

Bought two IIIPro (160mm centerlock) 5 hours ago, and now i read ur comment made me even more confident. Im still with stock RT10 shimano rotors in my Scultura, and with this change I will shave almost 200g. If they are as good in terms of braking performance as what i have with rt10 Im happy. If they brake even better its a plus.

I ordered a pair of those two piece rotors by IIIPro on Aliexpress. They come in different colors. 108g for a 160mm rotor which is decent given that it’s not a crazy lightweight design. I’ll put them on my gravel bike and see how it goes.

Hello.
Old topic, but i would be interested to know how IIIPro rotors went after some time (actually quite some time  :) )

Thanks

Hello.

Anyone know the difference between sr248 and sr268 hubs? Apart from the weight, what would be the advantage and disadvantages of one and another?

https://serenadebikes.net/7050-Alu-Road-Bicycle-Hub-Center-Lock-Disc-Brake-SR268-100x12mm-142-x-12mm-p6481939.html

Talking with Marya she said that in the sr268 When the freehub is pulled out, the ratchet is a whole (picture she send me). I don't exactly know if that's good or not and If that means is not compatible with dt Swiss or not. Just trying to understand if the 20g extra would make the sr268 stronger and worth.

Thanks guys

Hello.

People who bought this wheels, can you give us your impressions after a few rides. I'm also interested in tagoola wheels, and the reviews I read in the forum have been done basically after receiving the wheels.

Thanks guys
