Wheelscience Reviews 260

I heard about this company from a friend who was researching new carbon wheels. Admittedly, I was a bit skeptical about an Australian company selling Chinese-made carbon wheels but as I dug into the info, design, and test standards, reviews, and reached out to Peter directly, I was confident this was the "real deal" for a high-performance wheel set. I was advised to go with the EverestXL set once I submitted my riding objective. I then placed my PayPal order (I like that ability) and waited. I had low expectations on a delivery timetable based on reviews. I did get a shipping notice from Peter and soon another from a freight forwarder in Hong Kong. Then silence until it showed up on my Fedex app a week later in Louisville, arriving shortly thereafter. A 2 week turnaround..pretty good!
Cutting to the chase:
Packed very well
Super light skewers
Super light Wheels (1370g)- but even with the 35mm front profile, I do feel the cross winds more than before. Mainly because the front wheel is so damn light!
Easy to mount a pair of clinchers (plan tubeless soon)
The ride is sublime. Dropped 3/4 lb off my rotational weight and essentially have a new bike at a fraction of the cost. Love the feeling of pressing on the peddles on climbs and feeling the bike jump forward. Best part was my result on my go-to training run. My average speed increased by 0.8mph on my best time set 5 years ago (when I was 65). I have since ridden over 600 miles, including a ride to the top of Mt Mitchell, the highest peak East of the Mississippi River and love everything about them. Especially how they seem to be turning back the aging-clock for me. Best bike investment I have made in many years.

Great on line communication. Great price and great product delivered in the time promised. Love the wheels, thanks Wheelscience.

Great wheel, just took a long time to receive it.

Well-built, performs true, and I feel extremely safe descending at high speeds. I've been on the wheels for 6 months. Great wheels that I would recommend to anyone seeking for them. Excellent customer service

Very happy with wheels, but delivery was not great

I was a bit sceptic ordering wheels from Australia when I live in Sweden, but I had special requests on some details that I couldn't find easily elsewhere. However, Peter answered all my questions promptly and made me comfortable. And the wheels turned up on time and the 60mm looks fantastic on my Colnago! A big thanks!

Peter is excellent to communicate with. I had quite a few questions. I have put the 50 Elementals on my new FR1 Felt looks great. Unfortunately it’s still cold out side and waiting to get out in warmer weather. They look very nice compared to my other carbon wheels I have.

Been riding the wheels for 6 months now. Great wheels and definitely would recommend tow anyone looking. Well built, run true, feel very confident descending at speed. I run them tubeless and no issues when set up with proper rim tape. Setting up tubeless I tried one wheel with the wheelscience supplied tubeless band but could not get a seal as the band was too narrow for the rim profile; the package from wheelscience could be better if when buying a tubeless setup the tubeless valves and rim tape can be added to the order at checkout rather than buying them separately.

Set of Cloud 32's MTB wheels arrived in pristine condition. Tubeless tyres snapped on with minimal effort. They have since taken a pounding on a very rough 100km Audax dirt ride, and a rugged 500km bikepacking race (Cloudride, out of Canberra). Frankly, with this punishment, I thought they would go out of alignment, but are still rolling strong. Exceptional service from Peter.

wheels are good and delivered safely and intact. Nice and light and roll well. No issues at all with the wheels. The only problem was the long lead time for delivery - about a month or so. Probably more a function of global supply chain issues at the moment

Very helpful and informative website and staff. Wheels took a while to be delivered but not surprising given the logistics situation and war in Ukraine.

Small delay in the arrival of the wheels but due to postage delays. Really good communication though throughout. Enjoying riding with the wheels so far

i bought a set of Everest Xl wheels from Wheelscience.

the order process was very smooth, Peter was super helpful in identifying what exact configuration i would need.

shipping took roughly 4-5 weeks, which is OK considering the current logistics nightmare the world is experiencing. The Chinese shippers tracking website did not update very frequently, but that does not mean it is not on the way... so getting the delivery when it happened was actually a nice surprise.

the wheels were nicely packed, arrived free of any damages, or scratches. upon measuring them, i found that they were slightly heavier than originally advertised - 1,358 g instead of 1,309 g. Peter explained to me that they mistakenly had the low end of the range displayed on the website instead of the midpoint - this got corrected in the meantime. I did factor weight into my wheel buying decision, so i was a little disappointed (hence the 4 stars), but overall the wheels looked/felt great out of box.

i now have roughly 400 kms in the wheels. they run great, hold speed and are very responsive. they seem sturdy enough on rougher terrain as well. the hub sound is perfect for me, not overly noisy, but loud enough so i can use it to warn pedestrians and other riders when i am coming up behind them.

i am happy with my purchase

The wheels are everything the website promised. Packing was great . The wheels work GREAT! I really feel a difference in ride and aero caused by the use of the wheels. THX

All components of the rims came exactly as promised. Not always a simple feat. Happy my original order with someone else was returned. They look and feel great! Unfortunately, dead of winter here but can’t wait to try. And great communication overall.

Great service from enquiry through answering questions and on time delivery. Have now had several rides with the wheels and very happy with the performance.

After the accident, I had to change Miche wheels on my favorite Wilier Triestina . For a time I was looking for the best combination of price, quality and delivery and in the end I decided to purchase a 60x60 elementary. Delivery took a little longer than expected, but within acceptable limits.
It's too early to write reviews, because. the season has not started yet, but the first couple of hundred kilometers that I managed to ride promise many pleasant moments.
Special thanks to Peter for professional communication.

This is the 5th wheel I’ve bought from these legends! As always excellent service, wheels come in perfect condition, look amazing and are super fast!

Ok, I will start by saying that UPS who delivered the wheels were a pain in the bum so if you want your wheels the next day forget it….. but this is a product review so I will stay focussed on the product.

I purchased the 50mm rim brake wheels to replace some 50mm Mavic Cosmics that had seen better days. The wheels present well and we’re true out of the box. Wheels come with everything to install except rim tape to run with tubes. Everything is there to run tubeless and the wheels come with skewers and brake pads.

I’m 105kg so a heavy rider and noticed minimal flex. Less than the Magic’s and less than my old zipp 808s. So I consider the wheels to meet expectations on this. The wheels roll very well and seem to handle cross winds better than the Mavics. Response from the wheel is excellent and the cassette engagement is quite good (on par with my mavics). The wheels are light (haven’t weighed them) but the bikes seems more responsive at speed.

Braking on these wheels so far has been better than both the Mavics and my old 808s so overall the wheels have met my expectations

The only item I don’t like is they have a gloss finish, would prefer them to be less shinny but if this is all I got then they are a pretty good investment

Good price, responsive team, overall good quality
