Thanks Felix!

That’s great to hear, I haven’t tried the D45s yet but after hearing feedback like you’ve said I’m super keen to ask Winspace to lend me a pair 😛

I've been dying to replace my clunky PR2 wheelset with their crappy gavia fondo tires. Which tires did you pair with your upgrade?

@@arthurfleck8934 Hey, sorry for the late reply. I changed the tires way before upgrading the wheels to Continental GP5000 28mm. Upon upgrading, I put on the 25mm S TRs, but will probably put back the 28mms once the rainy season starts.

Haha cheers mate! If I was a bit more disciplined and self controlled I would have done some more timed testing but in the end I just went out for normal rides for the most part. Gotta say I got some nice PR’s on the D33.

I didn’t want to say this in the video but most people will spend another $2-4k just for the name of a particular brand. But if you want performance per dollar then brands like Winspace offer something very comparable.

Keong is great! Super knowledgeable and very good with the bikes :)

@@joshkwan yes he is. I had the older d50 and now have D67 yet to install to try.

Thanks bud, all filmed by Mr Chris Shi

I would have tested them but unfortunately I run 650B! (Also Cannondale lefty which poses its own issues) At least from what I’ve seen so far they only had the 700C in their shop. (They do have 650B online). I’ll keep you updated because I’d love to give my gravel bike an upgrade :)

That’s great to hear Nick!

Me too. I have Winspace Hyper 50s. Look, ride, and sound great!

That’s great to hear. How much the rims, and how much the tires you reckon?

Hi mate, I haven’t ridden the older models so cannot compare them unfortunately. They have updated the profile of the rim to deal with crosswinds better however.

@@joshkwanI see, thank you in any case.

Possibly something in the future, subscribe and keep watching 😜

Honest thoughts: Weight: almost equal with slight advantage to Aeolus (I think) Aerodynamics: Hyper D45 is better Price: Winspace Hub: probably Aeolus since I believe it’s a DT Swiss hub? Aesthetics: depends on your bike Decision? Up to you, if you do more climbing the Aeolus Pro is better. If you do more faster speed flat riding the Hyper 45 is better. My personal choice would be Hyper D45 since it suits my riding style better.

Thanks Chris Shi

Yes if different shops or manufacturers offer me demo ones to trial.

Having a second set of wheels you also need to consider buying another cassette and rotor. So factor that into the cost too. D45 is nice for the faster rides but I don’t know how much value you’d get out of it compared to the D33. That’s up to you 👍🏻

@@joshkwan Thank you! 🙏👍

I believe both!

they're new wheel sets are already $300 more than the previous 2020 model.........

Main difference was in the profile of the wheels. So I used Bontrager xxx4 which is 48mm deep. The wheels I tested were much shallower and deeper than this. I noticed the difference mainly in weight which led to acceleration/handling. Tbh for my style of riding around ~50mm is the best.

Yea, in Chris Millers podcast recently they talked about how local distributes add a mark up. End of the day you will be getting access to better service etc but I think the preference of the consumer is always a cheaper price point haha

@@joshkwan People like you are always using that line, "better service". And what does "etc" actually mean? If the wheels are as good as people have been reporting I shouldn't need service and although that time will come when the wheels are worn out they are typically beyond service anyway and it's better to replace them with a new set. No doubt you will charge more money for that service. The fact that you are adding more money to the price of these wheels is a crime against cycling consumers. I watched the Chris Miller video and I am with their opinions on this. You're just reselling a packaged product that the consumer could have purchased direct from Winspace for a better price.

@@charlesmansplaining Better service can mean that you have a brick and motar shop to take the wheels to so the issue can be addressed immediately, opposed to sending them overseas or dealing with a third party shop. They can also do crash repairs on the wheels too, such as assist with replacing spokes. Anyway like I said above, preference is always cheaper price, then you can use your money as you choose. If they do charge an extra price I would hope there is some value add or justification.

@@joshkwan You're right, it's my money to spend how I like and I certainly wouldn't spend it buying from the likes of your kind.

Haha I think you’re off your chops mate. I’m not selling anything 😂😂

Keen eye

Arm workout = completed

Wait till you find out they’re all made in the same factory 🤣

@@joshkwan They’re not. None of my racing bikes are made in China.

@@user-d32658 you were talking about wheels

Nothing wrong with our Singaporean friends haha

Was he trying to hide it? Sounded normal to me.

Obviously he is Singaporean. 🙂
