thanks, indeed it is (will be once delivered) my first carbon wheels. I weigh a few kg more (74) and probably do not ride as aggressive as you do, so I am not really afraid any more. But I still reckon this will be a big upgrade to the cheaper stock wheels.

I understand, but the price for delivery to EU is probably way to high with additional customs and taxes included.

AX gives us the chance to send the wheels past this extra costs.

I have read your review about the Edge wheels and if you could explain a little bit more about the stiffness... I am in no way a pro rider but really love it so I upgraded my wheels to these form the stock ones. I am more of an uphill rider so what the stiffness mean to rides like this.

AFAIK elite sells 28mm wide road rims, so with your gp5000 28C you're golden. I assume you run tubes, make sure the wheels have rim tape, and that should be about it. The probability there's a problem with shipping is very low. When you install the wheels you can check they're true, or true enough. If you go downhill really, really fast it can be worth balancing them by putting small lead weights across the valve (golf lead weights on Alix).

Shouldnt spike adjustment do the trick? Never heard of putting weight tape to bike rims.

Hi, new to this all so after reading all possible on these wheels I took a chance and orderded them, probably not for the cheapedt price but I reckon still pretty decent value.

I wasn’t sure what size to take (40 or 50) but then Suki suggested to take 45 as it would be the fastest to get.

Right now I have stock tyers on my canyon ultimate 7, the GP 5000 in 28mm. Do they fit on theses wheels or should I get a new pair?

Do I need to pay attention to anything else? Never ordered such things from Ax before in such value (cell phone does not count). Can there be something wrong when delivered? Sorry if there are dumb questions but I am new to this. Regards
