Hello guys, i have a cannondale caad 105, entry level bike, they told me that next upgrade will be the wheels,
around 1100 dollars for a quality wheel set, and they told me the bike will feel completely different.

now i was looking around and i found this company in china where they produce wheels and carbon frame.

anyone tried or bought?
any feedback?
those wheels are costing 670 dollars. i bealive that they could be good quality, as buy directly from the factory and are still expensive for no brand wheels.
thank you

No direct experience with that brand but I have purchased 3 wheel sets from Light Bicycle in China. They have the best reputation for quality and innovation of the Chinese brands, there is a long thread on this forum with hundreds of happy customers. I would suggest you consider them and ask if it is worth saving $50 to go with another brand without the same reputation.

I would also look at Winspace Hyper Wheels. There's a YouTube channel called China Cycling where he does a review of them. I bought a set of 38mm Carbon Clinchers (rim brake) and I LOVE them! They are light, stiff, they roll incredibly well. And they are $1100 including shipping but Joe from China Cycling has a promo code to get you 10% off that price. You also get a warranty.

I’ve been riding a light carbon gravel frame for over a year now. It has been pretty faultless. And the delivery and customer service pretty seamless.

@eric87, Did you end up getting anything from LightCarbon? I'm looking at their carbon/graphene rims.
