As the cycling landscape continues to evolve, riders are increasingly demanding more than just low drag figures and flashy decals. They want real engineering, reliability, and performance that holds up under load and over distance. The Nepest Nova carbon wheelset, manufactured in Xiamen, China, enters this space with a strong showing. It combines contemporary design…
Introduction After two and a half years of use, I’ve conducted an in-depth analysis of the $3500 Aviav Aldo bike wheels. These South Korean-manufactured wheels represent a departure from the more common Chinese origin for such components. Initial Observations and Durability: Despite the premium price point, the wheels exhibit some cosmetic wear, specifically stone chips…
Nepest wheels, a brand I had not heard of before. Seemingly quite popular in Japan. Their Maui were wheels were sent in for a full teardown. They have allowed these results to be publicized.
The £900 AeroCoach Aeox wheel hub promised cutting-edge performance but delivered a masterclass in engineering failure. With garbage machining, grooves that weaken rather than strengthen, and a design doomed by radial lacing, it’s less a cycling component and more a £900 liability. Add in AeroCoach’s radio-silence customer service, and you’ve got a product that fails on every level. Want to see the disaster for yourself? Watch it implode literally, in this video.
Lightbicycle is a well-established wheel brand from the Far East, renowned and widely distributed across the Western Hemisphere. They were among the pioneers to establish a dedicated service and sales centre in North America. In this review, I will delve into their Precision C21 full disc wheelset, which features a DT Swiss hub. Technical Points…
One of my viewers recently shared some shocking photographs of an Aerocoach Aeox Titan wheel following an amateur time trial event in the UK. These images reveal a catastrophic failure that exposes serious flaws in the manufacturing and design of these so-called high-end cycling components. Aerocoach: Overhyped and Underperforming Aerocoach, a UK-based company, touts itself…
This post provided aerodynamic performance data for wheels using disc brakes.
9Velo is a relatively new company, but the individuals behind it have been in the carbon fibre wheel industry for a considerable length of time. These gravel wheels have some of the highest levels of manufacturing quality that I have ever seen. The hubs are probably the best ones you can buy; they make DT Swiss units look like rough copies in comparison.
