Does anyone have an idea about rims which are 27-28mm wide at the brake track and are 60-65mm deep? I find some from farsports which are 58mm deep in their kaze series but would like some more options.

This site supplies the "RX60LH" which would be perfect, but it seems I can't order them.
Are these options from farsports not oem only?
I'm not sure what that means, sorry :oops:
ah sorry - my bad. 28mm is disc only though it seems.

The brake track is only 25mm wide on that one
Send an email, as long as you are not from the UK there is no reason why they would not sell it to you
I sent them one. Would be curious to see who else sells one like that tho, it's perfect for my needs.

Does anyone have any long term reviews of the Carbonal wheels? How do they stack up against the likes of Lightbicycle or Farsports?

I quite like the look of the ICAN aero 40s. Fair few pairs of icans around our local racing scene, not heard anything too bad about them. The hubs look like they're of ICANS own make, any opinions good or bad, or hints as to whether these are rebadged something elses?

I just got a $200 set of Ican built wheels from Amazon Warehouse. I'm pretty sure the rims are made by the same factory that makes a lot of other rims. They are solid as can be, they were built nicely, and they were cheap. No idea on whether they brakes or deal with temps well, but they are fine as far as basic quality goes. They might be the nicest thing on Amazon Warehouse.

They're for the "trainer bike" and it's winter and I have used them, but they aren't any worse then my LB rims. Maybe they have some aero shortcoming or something... but for the right price....what else are you going to get for $200

Amazon.com

Filter by used and Amazon Warehouse in the seller section. Note Amazonware quality ratings are dubious, especially with missing small parts.

I am looking for some deep (50-60mm) carbon wheels for my new bike.

Going to run GP 5k's 28mm. Is Lightbicycle my only option with their WR rim (25/32mm)?

Can't find many others with 30+ mm rims.

Does anyone have 21mm or 19mm internal 80ish mm disc wheels?

I believe so. That’s what I went with. Farsports, Yoeleo, and Nextie haven’t made 32mm wide deep rims yet.

Farsports has 30mm wide wheels too.

Lightcarbon recently released a nice assymetric rim with 22/30.

Looking for something in the 65-80mm deep range. Disc brake, ideally 27-30mm external width. Does anyone have any open mold/chinese suggestions?

Hi dear Friends,

I'm looking forward to a new wheelset for my gravelbike with 30mm internals and came across these two rims which are very interesting.

These two rims in T800 looks super light and with the same weight. The 28mm depth rim is maybe even a bit more aerodynamic without a wieght penalty.

Can you please share your thoughts.

Thanks a lot :)

Has anyone used superroad rims before?

Im looking to build a wheelset with 45-55mm deep rims and run 28c tyres.

Which of these rims would be the most suitable?

Here is a link to their catalogue:
