Sure man! I'll do a video on the whole bike soon

Thanks!

Cheers!

I feel like Ali express is becoming an addiction, so much good stuff on there for sooo cheap 😂 hope the wheels work out great

+1 for my friend Sukie. Have the lightweight rim set and the ENT disc for the winter bike. No nipple issues here 18 months in.

I do put my wheels through alot to be fair 😂 how are the disc ones holding up?

@@harrymaccycling Yeah still perfect, and ridden through the winter weather. There's better wheels out there im sure, but for the price these are quality 👌

@@harrymaccycling only had them couple of weeks ok so far, rim ones have done 3k+ miles and still rolling great.

Hi how much vat did you pay in customs here in UK? Thanks

everything was included in the price, I definitely didn't have to pay anything after the purchase

@@harrymaccycling did you get the standard shipping or express?

Standard shipping, despite me having to wait a while it's usually fairly quick looking at reviews

@@harrymaccycling alright. Thanks very much

That would be interesting, as it would be my first time doing so 😂

@@harrymaccycling spectacular fails creates good video with lots of views. A “How not to change bearings” 🤣

Sounds like a great video to me 😂 as you say cheap ceramic will go soon enough

Basically just a video of how to break a wheel

Cheers!

Yeah they should offer a few different types of through axle

Don't even wait, buy them, trust me.

came here to comment this lol, was gonna get some Dura Ace ones to upgrade my Ultegras, think I'll risk a pair!

Do you have a link for the ee brakes?

Can't remember if I ever did one, but let me help, if you want to go touring, forget speed and all flashy shit, I bought this bike off ebay for maybe £3-400, it had sora 9 speed, it works fantastic and lasts 10x longer than 11 speed, cable disc brakes worked great and if you have all cable brakes and gears you can fix them if anything goes wrong. Get a steel frame they are comfortable, higher quality steel IS more comfortable as I have a new croix de fer that is definitely more comfortable than this old croix de fer, try and get a frame with as many mount as possible, this frame had a steel fork with mounts that helped me carry extra cargo, panniers definitely as you can carry more stuff easily, ortlieb is the best for a reason. Get a frame that can accommodate up to 40c tyres as it makes it more diverse, schwabe marathon plus tyres are very very uncomfortable, are yoh looking to bike tour or just get a bike?

@@harrymaccycling Thanks for the reply mate - I think we go mixed up, I'm talking about the Elves Falath. I'm wanting to build a race bike for next season, so was just wondering about a semi long term review after having it for a bit now and racing on it too!

Oh sorry I couldn't see what video you commented on I thought it was a recent touring bike video, so it's a good bike and I'm going to do a video on the full review very soon but I need to double check if the rear of the frame is out of alignment or not

Yeah! a.aliexpress.com/_mMghgT8

@@harrymaccycling Link appears broken?

They are still fantastic!

@@harrymaccycling amazing to hear! Have you switched to a different brake pads? If so, which ones do you use?

@@0views372 I use black Prince they are great

For all my carbon wheels, i use the campagnolo reds!They are expensives, but really feel secure with them

Ahhh I'll try this! Thanks!

Hey! Yeah already tried the wd40, still won't budge... Stuck on ideas...

@@harrymaccycling try to put some wd40 at each hole and spin it a little before leting it sit then try and tightening and loosening the nipples gently (if it doesnt move just do not force) and do this every day for a week. If that doesnt work then just cut the spokes and rebuildong the wheels might be the only thing to do 😕

Ooo I guess I'll try doing Every day for a week, worth a shot right? Thanks bud!

@@harrymaccycling yeah iv managed to recover 50years old+ wheels like that, but they were brass and steel niples at that time

Off it for a couple monts or so!

Will do yep 👍

I got mixed up, these are currently 36cm deda bars but here are the AliExpress ones i ordered a.aliexpress.com/_mOgWo2i

@@harrymaccycling Thank you! I was looking at those ones as well. Not the cheapest but at least there are even narrower options. What width did you go with?

36! I'd love to get 36 with flares to 38/40 but hard to find... There is someone on FB marketplace selling carbon 35cm flares to 40cm for £100 atm check them out

Ah that's a shame :(

Thanks!

No sure hahaha but thabks, will do!

@@harrymaccycling Thanks for replying. I was looking for an inexpensive rim brake wheelset and i read up on these wheels. They look decent. So I did something stupid and I bought the 50 x 27mm. Let's see how they fare.

@@prlato1974 a very very good idea 🔥

I bought 38mm depth 27mm wide wheels from Elitewheels about 2 month ago and put it on my bike 2 days ago :D It was so good compare to my old alloy wheels. But I just rode it once because yesterday and today are raining days :D I think if we're using 25c or 28c tyres, 27mm rims is most suitable. And 27mm rims is perfect fit for my Trek Emonda with 25c tyres

@@tunguyenminh9755 What tires did you put on them? Can't decide what tire to buy for the rims.

Get arc or rxr hubs instead. Arc makes the high end stuff

Hey Pete, I believe these are the wheels I bought, it has the option for 25, 26, 27 & 28mm! a.aliexpress.com/_mshLtK6

@@harrymaccycling thanks mate 😃

No worries!

@@harrymaccycling is the bike still holding up Harry or have you retired it now?

Lots of thing need replacing, will be a video up soon, a one year review!

Hey, they were pretty good, braking in the wet was horrible though, with a pair of soft good brake pads the braking in the dry was good nothing fantastic though, I'd definitely get the ones I have with the machined out brake track the braking on them is great, the old lightweight ones were good and stuff and handled great, used them for racing and never had any problems until the rear went out of true and all the nipples are seized needed a complete rebuild unfortunately, great for the money though

Yeah will do! Probably 2000km, 1000 will only take a few weeks haha

I'm definitely not educated enough on the subject to preach about it, bit believe it's to do with 'YAW' angles (wind coming not exactly head on) as wind usually never comes exactly head on and is like broke up airflow, a wider rim with a wider curve will be more aero, a V shape rim will be more aero with a completely straight smooth headwind, but apart from the wind tunnel that is never the case, lots of data online about it

There are different options for SRAM/Shimano or campanolo, you can chat with them to ask

You have to ask them, you can speak to them directly via the Ali express chat option, usually good quick replies

@@harrymaccycling cheers mate.

No worries boss!

Not 100% sure but I know they'll have the dimensions on the website

Will be doing a full bike build video soon!

If you just talk to them via the chat they will sort it out!

Hey, I'm definitely sticking to 80 on the back, I would have 80 on the front too but just want something a little more versatile in the winds, I race and the deeper the wheel the faster you go, the only time I would consider getting shallower wheels is on very technical races such as crystal Palace (if you know London) once you get past 35kph you can really feel the difference with a deep section wheel, I'd go 80 on the back 😎👌

@@harrymaccycling Thanks for your response👍

So Great to deal with!

@@harrymaccycling typically chinese companies struggle with translation.. not Elite Wheels.. customer service is top notch .. a broke a skewer cap .. they sent me 1 free of charge .

The service is 10/10,

Shipping was free!

@@harrymaccycling nice and no custom charge?

So as standard they let you choose rim depth, rim width, tubular or clincher/tubless, black or white decals....I think the price only increases if you go for a deeper rim, I asked for a custom combination of 82/60 and it was no problem. They then have the option to upgrade to a few different types of spoke for an extra change, think it was £50 or £100 I went for the £50 upgrade and saved 90-100g I think, customer service chat on Ali express is quick and great, quick and much better experience then any western bike brand I've felt with haha, by the way I am not sponsored or payed to say any of this, was just genuinely a great experience with them

Yep!

Thinking about getting them, would be interested in your opinion

%100 get them, setup can be an issue as the cable/housing NEEDS to come in at a very certain angle otherwise the breaks feel rusty... When setup good they are fantastic

a.aliexpress.com/_mtRGFEc

Widest rim

@@harrymaccycling 25 or 27 better?

@@eugnp 25 front 27 rear

​@@harrymaccycling why not 28 both?

Wheels are still good yeah! Definitely worth upgrading to carbon

@@harrymaccycling i heard those wheels need re-lubricate at the hub after a ride of rain or a wash. Does it happened to you?

@@brendanli3533 they definitely didn't have much grease in to start but I put lots of grease in myself and will open again in 1000km or so and see what it's like!

Winder is definitely most always better, the only exception being maybe hill climbs or track bikes....

@@harrymaccycling I've actually went ahead with a pair of wheels from them woohoo! Can I ask how long it took for it to deliver to you? and if you've had to pay any import customs?

Nice! It took 2 months but this is due to other issues I believe, normally I'd expect to be around 1 month delivery to the UK

27mm rims is perfect fit for 25c tyres. I'm using 27mm Elitewheels

@@tunguyenminh9755 awesome! I have brought a 27mm rims with 50 depth elite pro wheels.

They're running fine at the moment! No real issues

Hey! Full review will be up of the whole bike in the next 2 weeks, wanted to do a whole race season to do a proper review so I could really give it hell and see how it held up! 28s were fine but 25s were more profiled

@@harrymaccycling did you ever upload the whole bike review

@@harrymaccycling Would also be interested in the rundown of the elves + wheelset.

These no but they do track specific wheels

It's a good frame yes

@@harrymaccycling if you are to place your fallath next to a brand frame, which will be it's equivalent in a matter of geometry and performance?

It's hard to compare, the falath is definitely the stiffest bike I've ever ridden, but it's also not very comfortable because its so stiff,

What do you mean by balancing?

Ahahhaa yeah I noticed I put the tyres backwards by accident, I still haven't changed them yet 😂

@@harrymaccycling 😂 I expected a racer trick 😉

Backwards tyres when I 'attack off the back'

@@harrymaccycling 🤣👍

​@@PierreAlainMaireit helps him pedal backwards

Ah yeah, people don't know this about Ali express and are scared to use it because of this

Nice! I thought Alibaba was a B2B site... You were able to just order 1 frame?

@@harrymaccycling I thought the same thing to with Alibaba. I bought one T10PRO full carbon Twitter road bike with carbon wheels, carbon handle, Shimano Ultegra 8000 transmission and hydraulic disc brakes for $1500.

Wow.... I'll give it a look, thanks!!!!

Lastly, I have a question. So I am 193 cm. Twitter's bike sizing chart says their 54 cm frame will fit my height. Do you think I'll be ok on a 54 cm frame?

Not 100% sure, for me i 'should be' closer to a 56 but I prefer a 54, if you're In-between sizes definitely go for the smaller and add a longer stem

I got 28mm wide rims I think, I have 25mm tyres on and they fit really good but think I will go 28 and will fit better

Hey! I am not sure.... They should have them on AliExpress/ the website

So I actually wasn't too sure of the difference, so I asked elite wheels and they replied saying ' pro wheel ----entry level rim brake wheel ,ceramic bearing,also have normal bearing ent wheel ------entry level rim brake wheel,the hub is NBK bearing ,It is the most popular wheel with stable performance and durability slr wheel ------tpi bearing anti-bite structure hub ,The structure of this hub is ratchet, similar to dt swiss hub, stable structure, better performance.The wheels are fitted with the best A1 brake surface,Braking performance is good DRIVE WHEEL -------The finish is marble , which is more fashionable. The spokes are carbon spokes, which makes the wheel lighter.The hub is a ceramic bearing. hub will be more lubricated.The structural design and performance of the hub are also different. The wheels are fitted with the best A1 brake surface,Braking performance is good The specific information is please check on our link, it is high level wheel.'

@@harrymaccycling has first bike would you go for the vanyar or elgath, and discs vs rims? Does it make a big difference at this low prices? If you go for sensah 12x with rim vs Shimano 105 discs Thanks in advance for any feedback

I'd definitely go for the vanyar, super light good frame, if you go for disc brake then don't get sensah because cable brakes and internal routing don't go well together, get rim brakes they are good

i'm thinking of building a bike with the sensah 12speed, with rival crank, casset and chain, it is a good setup? i think it's about 500euros all together, in the future buying the powermeter upgrade can you send me a link of those fake ee brakes? please

I have not tried farsports so I cannot comment

No spokes = save weight

Think it was already included, but I didn't have to pay customs

What do you mean balance?

@@harrymaccycling just like balancing a car wheel your bike wheels have a hole for the valve so it’s not balance u need to add weights to compensate there is videos on KZfaq

@@tomermahlis12 ahhhh yeah, there is something you can buy for this, I think silca makes one

@@harrymaccycling u can use tennis racket lead weights there is an Australia guy that shows how to do it on KZfaq highly recommend

The set!

Everything was included and I didn't have to pay extra

The wider one can't remember what size it was

@@harrymaccycling think that’s 28mm 👍👍

So that will work with 28mm tyres 👍 thanks looking forward to the full video

What's superteam?

@@harrymaccycling it's a cheap carbon wheelset sir

I have never heard of them, so elite ahahaa

@@harrymaccycling thank you sir, i will go with your choice my friend

Nice! Mmmm I don't have any previous experience with those hubs, I had some dt hubs before, not sure what ones by the freehub snapped on me 3 times... I find cheap hubs to be completely fine, depending on brand, novatech are great, these are unbranded so I'm yet to see how good they are, seem okay at the moment though...

Ok, thanks. That helps. I'll save my money for now and if I need to I can just swap them myself later if there's a reason to. I guess my main concern is them being too noisy. I believe 'yuan an' is the OEM for the wheel and the hub. Their website provides more info than elite wheels

Yeah the hub is pretty loud, smash loads of grease in there and will be quieter

Oops....

Holding up good!

@@harrymaccycling Which spokes did you go for? Wing 20 or Sapim CX-Ray?

I can't remember too well but I think it was just over a month, but I think it was because of China covid lock down and the start of the Russia Ukraine war so it took longer

@@harrymaccycling ok thank you so much God bless you sir.

Yep, not sure about how easy the spokes are to true, my last set of elite wheels the spokes completely seized to the nipples

Will be doing one soon!

On their way!

Yep

@@harrymaccycling thank you so much! Does the 82mm wheel give you any trouble when you ride your bike on a windy weather?

Because its on the rear wheel not really, but when it's really windy it can a bit, but that's with any deep wheel I guess haha

@@harrymaccyclingDude, thank you! I appreciate it, man; I'll go with the 60mm and purchase it right away.

Upgrade the spokes too/

The page I got them from has been taken down for some reason but they are up there on different pages now, if you type in g4 brakes they will appear on a few different pages

Like this one a.aliexpress.com/_mt3QRuw

@@harrymaccycling and you got no any issues on the braking performance?

They do work great but you have to make sure to get the cable/cable housing to go into the cable at the correct angle and also get the cable housing the correct Length, the brakes don't work fantastic if you get this wrong, not because they are fake but just because of the design on the caliper, the same would happen on the real ones

To go into the caliper at the correct Length***
