Price for the frame has already increased by 100 but I doubt that will stop persons from making the purchase {did not stop me and the bike was just delivered to my Florida forwarder- took about 5 biz days) . Already have the the yoelero sat wheels which handle well on my roads with potholes. There is a Chinese manufacturer proxcarbon, who I suspect are lightcarbon, who offer a Carbon spoke wheelset, same look as these wheels for about the same price. Would love to see a review of their ProX C67DB Disc Brake Carbon Road Undulating Wheels . Looking forward to your follow up review of the frameset
I ordered a similar pair from ProX, received them about a week ago. My initial impression is good from inspection, and very good considering the price. Even lighter than many high end offerings from mainstream brands! My 55mm set with carbon spokes and in-house hubs weighed 1430g for the pair.
@@lemonshire1 I wonder if the reason for lighter weight is simply because those wheels are 19mm internal and 28mm outer. Versus the 23mm and 30/31mm external of the Yishun wheels. For myself, I can't go back to 19mm internal.
From the LightCarbon "About Us" page: "2019 - LightCarbon invested in a carbon rim factory (Xiamen ProX Carbon Technology Co., Ltd)" "With ProX team making carbon rims and wheelset for us, LightCarbon is able to more focus on carbon frame developing and manufacturing." I've also ordered ordered a pair of their C67DB undulating wheels. Should have them soon. Interesting that Yishun shipping was $100 to the US. With ProX, I paid $150 :(
Hey Patrick, how are the Yishun wheels holding up? I’m about to order a set as some cheap training wheels and I’m wondering how yours are doing. Thank.
Great review! I know they are a lot more expensive but I would love to see you do a review for the Craft Works wheel set. I know they are $1650 but they are extremely light and 3rd generation carbon spokes
I have no doubt their products are great - I'm currently using their (now discontinued) OSPW on my Winspace T1500 and it's awesome. Shifts are a faster due to the carbon cage. However, Elilee's owner/marketing dude created an unfavorable reputation with me. Extremely arrogant. And this was 6 months prior to his Instagram rant over the Blize defect issues, which made my opinion of him even worse. According to Chinese bike industry insiders he's not favored there either. Maybe one day we can work together once Elilee resolves their customer service and frame consistencies.
They are good for rolling hills at most. If you are in an area with long sustained climbs I'd recommend both a light and stiffer wheel. However, these wheels are fantastic over rough pavement. Probably the best I've tested.
Having just seen this, I think I'm going to have to short list Yishun for my next build/video. Welcome to "wider is better" 😂 #sensah or #ltwoo groupset though?🤔
I have some wheels in that style. They are 60/65mm. They're some chinese copies (literally Fakes) of Princeton Carbonworks wheels. When I saw this video I thought perhaps my wheels were also made by Yishun. But I see so many of the details are different, that it's probably not the case. Mine were cheap - $500 or bit less. They're not as stiff as I'd like. They are definitely aero. Not great in gusty crosswinds. Widths are 19 internal and ( think 25mm external), 1780 grams (disc brake set), hooked rims
@@PatrickLino theres a ridge and a big grip difference on the tan. If you lean a lot you can start slipping of the black compound on the contact patch. you'll only really notice when pushing the limits. Ive noticed the difference between the regular and tan on standard 25mm setup. Lowering tyre pressure helps but then theres more risk of tyre rolling (on bigger tyre widths with narrower rim widths or low pressures more risk). I'm just a suicidal descender and find the limits
