Deerobust wheels - any experience?

[UrgentDelay]

Has anyone tried this company? https://www.deerobust.com/

They have very competitive rim weights and I wonder whether they come as advertised.
I'm evaluating this as an alternative to Light Bicycle WR50 Flyweight set:

Front rim - https://www.deerobust.com/50mm-carbon-r ... width.html
Rear rim - https://www.deerobust.com/60mm-carbon-r ... width.html

Wheel spec:
Axles: 12x100 and 12x142
Type - hooked
Freehub body - Shimano HG
Hub - Carbon Ti
Spokes - Sapim CX Ray, 24
Brake type - Centerlock

Thank you Captain Obvious. And have you tried using it yourself before making an obvious suggestion? No info on that.

EDIT: I went through their configurator and 32GAR50 + 32GAR60 (25 internal/32 external rims with 50 deep front 60 rear) are coming marginally heavier, than LB WR50/WR65

For what it's worth, the deerobust rims have a better profile than lb

Bumping this thread? Anyone used Deerobust?


They look competitive on weight v wheelsfar ( better on paper), which makes them about as light as you can get …

Their wheel chooser similar to LightBicycle (website a bit clunky)

They also have Berd spokes which is the first I’ve seen online direct

Says based in Wyoming but can’t believe they are not Chinese!

A couple of build examples, all 40F/45R:

- the lightest set spec’d are with 28e/21i.
- the other 2 are 32e/25i
- All Carbon spokes (albeit own brand 20/20 and Non-Plus 24/24)

Non-plus hubs about 70g lighter than their own brand.

Best pictures i can get of carbon spokes - any clues on manufacturer?

I haven't tried Deerobust myself, but their specs definitely look interesting. The rim weights seem competitive, and the carbon Ti hubs and Sapim spokes are solid choices. I've had good luck with similar setups, so if the rims perform as advertised, they could be a good alternative to the Light Bicycle WR50 Flyweights. That said, durability and long-term performance are key, so I'd recommend checking for any reviews or feedback from people who've had them in real-world conditions before making the jump.
