Hey everyone, just wanted to share a quick pre-review of my new Tagoola Cure 24 wheelset from AliExpress.

Order & Delivery:
Ordered on August 5th and they arrived at my doorstep on August 13th. The package was undamaged and well-protected. The wheels were packed in basic thin foam bags inside a larger plastic bag. Inside the box, they included two 60mm tubeless valves, a roll of 27mm tubeless tape, and a wheel tension report sheet.

Build Quality:
First impressions out of the box are very positive. The carbon layup looks perfectly clean with no visible imperfections from the assembly. The wheel build feels solid, and the freehub came pre-greased, emitting a nice, deep 'click..click..click' sound from the ratchet mechanism.

Weights & Specs (24mm Internal / 32.6mm External Width):
Total weight came out to 1465g with the tubeless tape and valves already installed, so the bare weight should be a bit lower. I am upgrading from stock Giant P-R2 wheels (which weigh a tank-like 2200g with Giant Fondo 32mm tyres). Shaving off roughly 730g should easily get me to Pogacar-level speeds!

Tyre Installation:
I mounted a set of 32mm Continental GP5000 S TR tyres. As expected, they were notoriously tight. I used a Tyre Glider and a bit of dish soap to guide them on, and they popped right into place. Best of all, they seated perfectly using just a regular floor pump—no compressor needed. At my usual pressure (49 psi front / 51 psi rear), the 32mm tyres stretch out to a nice 33.5mm width on these wide rims.

Next Steps:
I’m heading out for a 50km test ride this weekend and will report back with a full riding review. For now, initial impressions are great, and I’d definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a budget-friendly carbon wheelset.

Rim Depth: 50mm

Internal Width: 23mm

Weight: Approx. 1400g/set (excluding accessories)

Rim Profile: Wave-shaped design, engineered to enhance aerodynamic performance and stability in crosswinds

Bought these as second wheelset for my gravel setup instead of "branded" alu wheels. Sadly have not received mine yet as they are somewhere "in between" for almost a month. Shipping speed from China is a bit of coin toss. And, yeah, price/performance seemed really good, queried Tagoola directly as well and asked a couple of questions. Standard vs lightweight difference is layering of carbon. U went with standard - not looking to most lightweight setup.
Given I'm planning to use 32mm tyres and likely tubeless (so lower pressures) - I see no issues with having mini-hook design.

I hope to give some feedback in after a while.

I've got a set of these wheels a few weeks ago. I got the light version.
For the price is a great choice. 32mm tyres fit perfect.
As usual there finished with care and came pre taped for tubeless.
I would buy them again!

It depends on many things, but in most cases you do not need to go the lightest possible option. 1200-1300g is absolutely great for a wheelset. If you don't mind, how much do you weight?
Weight distribution is also a thing when looking at a wheelset. The closer to the axle the less the weight matters. That means you could go for a hub that has proven to be reliable, like H-Works SR270 or THR R2 possibly, with no real performance loss (maybe even a perf gain?). Pillar 1420 spokes are probably okay. Rim weight option depends on rider weight and power output but it wouldn't hurt to go with just slightly heavier option that might make a stiffer wheelset overall. With those changes you'll still end up with <1300g wheelset most likely.
