FARSPORTS DISC CARBON WHEELSET Test & Review

[kroem]

Any words on the RD230 steel bearings supply? I'm not likely gonna go for CS bearings, just dont wanna buy into it

Reliability vs DT180 ?

[stevec1975]

Not sure, when I emailed Sandy, it was a c. 2 month wait for normal bearings, so start of May at the earliest, if you are going for DT180, it comes out at pretty much the same cost as the RD230 with Ceramic Speed bearings anyway, so much of a muchness, the chosen brand hubs (which is what RD230 are) have a good reputation for reliability, but DT180 may be better for support purposes.

ANyone know the difference between the CX-Ray and the CX-Super which claims to be 30g lighter pers wheel at an upcharge? I can get an answer from Sandy that I undersand.

IIRC, CX-Super are lighter but less aero than CX-Ray. I suppose it's sapim response to alpina spokes.

use the google translate feature at the top of the page. In short: its thinner, different stainless steel than cx-ray. difference in weight in the same length is about 0.6g. i think its rather 30g per wheelset.

Sweet thanks, would you all consider theses? Or is the lack of Aeroness pointless?

I am currently riding a Easton EC90 SL 38mm Deep 19mm internal and 28mm external Wheelset at 1464g running tubeless or 1450g running with Tubes.

I was looking at the Feder Disc 45mm with DT180/240 or RD Hubs to get to 1300grams.. But Honeslty, I dont know if the Aero gains plus $1500 is worth it to save 164grams for my Strada build

nah, the easton is a pretty good wheelset. i would invest in another area on the bike.

Agreed and thank you!

[snaxez]

If Ray has better aero gains than super, then is it worth the extra cost and 28,8g weight savings?

I ordered a set of 35mm kaze wheels, and the tracking through WXY started showing some activity on monday. However, on thursday it said "Flight has departed", and then no sign. Any knowledge about this trackign service? How long can a plane be airborne, lol?

Since WXY is not a real shipping company but rather a "man in the middle" the tracking is very vague. I just checked my wxy tracking number and if i go by that, the plane was just under 30h airborne

Right. I wonder though, if it is just a "middle man", then where is the "main man" or should I say the main website to track on?

I am a person who's second biggest hobby after cycling is updating tracking services

You are gonna need duct tape to keep those wheels from flying up in the air

Super light climbing wheels! Sweet

I didn't know you could buy parts from Farsports? Is it cheaper, since there isn't a build fee?
