Elite wheels black friday

[alfiomotrambo]

 I'm looking for a set of EliteWheels carbon disk wheels, i've seen on aliex some very inviting discount, what experience do you have with elitewheels? What do you guy suggest? What about the weight

Thanks you all

First, I would recommend you to use the search feature because the Elitewheels were discussed back and forth.

Second, here is one of my answers copied from one of those threads:
"I've tested EDGE, ENT, and DRIVE wheels. The ENT and EDGE differ mainly in weight, spokes, and rim profiles. I am not sure about the SLT and SLR. I will consider writing a comparison article about all these wheelsets. Anyway, the DRIVE wheels have carbon spokes and ceramic bearings.
Regarding ride feel, EDGE + ENT are pretty soft but comfortable. But for example, I didn't feel like riding 1350g wheels when riding EDGE. They are not as responsive as DRIVE ones, which are a bit lighter. The ENTs are much heavier and better for flats and steady efforts.
Having said that, I would recommend saving a bit more for DRIVE wheels. They are my go-to climbing wheels (45mm depth weighs under 1300g), and they are much more responsive than EDGE.
However, it also depends on your experience. For example, I would be happy if I was transitioning from ALU wheels to EDGE. But given that I've tried wheels costing over $1000 with carbon spokes, I'd opt for those instead."

Third, you can also check out my Elitewheels comparison https://www.cyclistshub.com/elitewheels-road-bike-wheels-compared/ or Elitewheels Black Friday deals where I listed the actual price and also the price from a month ago: https://www.cyclistshub.com/elitewheels-black-friday/.

Got myself a pair of XC 28mm and pair of ENT disc. Going from alu low profile wheels on XC bike was a HUGE level up on flat and uphill. I'd love to disagree about cheapest elitewheels being on a soft side unfortunatlu reality hits after 600-700W. Would I go back to my previous Stans alu set? Hell nah. Hope my newest set, which was a bargain ENT Disc, will serve me well as XC does.

I've had Elite's SLR and EDGE. All the wheels with steel spokes have the same rim profile and same defaults spokes. I don't feel much difference, honestly. Would not recommend carbon spokes if you ride on rough roads or offroad.

Bro stop shilling your blog everywhere. You are basically the only one on the whole internet who thinks edges are soft. Maybe get a better bike and some good tires for your tests

Easy now kubackje. Peters articles opened the idea of Chinese bikes to me, with his build reports I read years ago. Dont insult, but let Peter know who he could improve his test. I doubt you have read “the whole internet” to know that he is the only one with that opinion, so be more kind!

And to be honnest, I like his reviews.
But the best thing is that I understand perfectly his english  .

I have a set of the ENT 2.0 wheels. I bought them to use them as a secondary wheelset with road tires for my gravel bike and now will be using them for my roadbike build. I am a beginner and never ridden more expensive wheels so my experience is limited. But for the price i would say they are very good. I don't think they will be able to compete with a 1000 dollar wheelset but as an upgrade from OEM aluminium wheelsets the difference will be night and day.

kubackje: Slightly edited your post, sir. You have a fair point about him shilling his blog but no reason to insult his work. Looks like he's working hard on it and is improving. At least it's not AI-generated content which is so commonplace now.

Petr from Cyclists Hub: He has a point. Out of 17 posts you've linked your blog 5 times. You're free to promote it here and we appreciate your engagement with the community but maybe chill on pushing it so much and dropping links a bit. You've got 5 do-follow links here that I'll leave which should help your SEO. From this point forward, I think providing useful answers and having your blog promoted in your profile as you do should be sufficient.

Thanks for understanding.

While I don't understand why there is so much hatred in your comment, I do see your point. As someone who cares about content and spends a lot of time and effort creating it, I also try to get it to the target audience. I admit that the form I chose here was not the most fortunate.
Regarding the stiffness, I tried 15+ wheelsets (steel and carbon-spoked ones), and I rate them relatively, but not absolutely. This means that yea, they are soft compared to carbon-spoked wheels, but not compared to other steel-spoked ones. Maybe I did not choose the best wording and should write "relatively soft compared to wheelset X".

Thank you. I would love to hear what I could improve. Before I started doing wheel reviews, I asked 30+ people what they wanted to read in them. It was 3 years ago, so maybe, the preferences changed.

And to be honnest, I like his reviews.

Lol, thanks. Yeah, I don't speak sophisticated English. Pronunciation could be better sometimes, but I'm glad people get the message!
