Just had an email back from Leon, just in case anyone else is waiting!

Any specific reasons you want carbon spokes?Weight? Stiffness? I'm just curious

You won't receive your wheels until quite a while, so may be waiting for a week for an answer using their website can be a good idea if you really want carbon spokes.

Just trying to get the lightest set of wheels possible at 40/45mm depth - the carbon spokes would offer a bit of extra weight saving.
The 40mm Elite Edge are coming in at 1290g so thats not bad at all, ill wait a few days to see if Leon gets back to me, but if not I think ill go for these.

Thanks Lumenir,
I was hoping to deal with them and get a set of lightweight 40mm carbon spoked wheels for my Tarmac SL6.
The lack of response at this stage means ill probably go elsewhere.

There's a great deal on the Elite Edge wheels on Aliexpress, so I might just go for those and maybe upgrade the spokes to carbon myself at some point.

Has anyone had contact from Leon recently?
Im looking for a new set of wheels and have messaged him on here and emailed the company but have had no reply.

Hi all,

Does anyone have any idea how to contact Sixwheel?
They were developing a seatpost topper for the TCR SL which gave a much cleaner look than the standard topper and looked amazing.

I've just been informed by Panda Podium (who demoed the topper on a video a few months back) that the project has been dropped as they don't think it'll make any money.
I would really love to get a hold of one, but cannot find any details on how to contact Sixwheel to see if they would be interested in selling one (even a sample model) directly.


Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi all,

Just seen this amazing lightweight carbon seatpost clamp designed for the TCR SL.

Has anyone any idea how I can contact the maker and try to purchase?
I’m in the UK looks like the Baidu site is only for Chinese residents.

Any help much appreciated.

Hi Peter,

Interested in a set of rim brake 38mm with carbon spokes.
Tried emailing but haven't had a response - could you get in touch when you get a chance please.
Thanks a lot.

Thanks DrSmooth - that's good to hear.
I've been in contact with them and they have been very helpful.
They have already said hubs can be specified as black as a special order and they are currently checking if they can provide oil slick colour nipples for me - this would be a nice finishing touch to really set the wheels off.

Hi all,

I'm building up a Alchemy Atlas carbon frame into a very lightweight build, mainly for hilly days and want to get a 50mm rim brake wheelset to finish it off.

After a lot of searching, the best wheels I can find at a seriously competitive price are the Elite Drive 50V Ultralight version.
Carbon Spokes
1315g

Is there anything else out there worth considering?
I have a set of 40mm Farsports Kaze on my other bike (TCR) which are excellent, but these look like they are about the same weight but with 10mm extra depth which should help on the flats - a win win surely?!

The only other contenders I had on my shortlist were Farsports, Light Bicycle & Winspace Hyper - but all of those were either dearer, heavier or both!

Any other options out there worth considering before I purchase?
Thanks a lot.
