Elite Wheels SLT - The best carbon wheels on Ali Express?

Harry an update video on the wheels would be super! I'd love to know how they've been holding up, especially over the winter

Hi Harry, here via Francis Cades' channel. Like what you are doing buying direct from Asia 💪

Looking forward to the bike build vid. Also in the market for a new bike and would straight up buy the parts from your affiliate links as a thank you for showing us some budget friendly alternative. Not experienced bike builder so would be cool to hear you talk about the ways you made this bike work out for you

I have 3 sets of these wheels (including 1 gravel set). And yeah, ceramic bearings are crap - did last 5000k. Yet, all wheels come with some cheap grease - if you haven't done that yet, better to open up all bearings, decrease and apply chris king silver. Also had few times aluminium nipples snapping (on gravel, due to disc brakes and forces going through those, had to replace for copper ones). Other than that - great wheels for the price

I have two sets of Elite wheels are both are super solid, love them! Have a set of 50mm rim brake wheels that I've done several thousand miles on and a set of 82mm disc wheels that have done about 1000 miles. Definitely worth the money.

Good video. Look forward to seeing how good they are.

I’m on my second pair of Elite wheels both 50mm disc and rim brake latest pair took 45 days to be delivered for the money they are definitely worth it. Sukie is great shes very helpful.

Came over from Frances Cades channel to give you a like and Subbed👍👍

Sup harry! love the vids pal, can you share what ee brakes you got? can only see 2-3 of them on ali with very little reviews

sick build! Could I get the link for the EE brakes?

Sweet! In the market to bit got confused ABOUT the differensens beteende the SLT and SLR versions? SLR seems a bit lighter and hub less resistance?

I picked up a pair of these (27mm wide, 50mm deep) and I'm so so on them. Compared to a cheaper pair of CSC wheels the braking isn't as good and there is a lot of flex. If you are running more than 25 really check they fit, I can't use them on a Cannondale supersix, mainly because of the flex hitting the rear stay. Also getting the tyre to seat properly was a faff, actually needed to pump up more than usual and ride them till they bedded in as couldn't do it by hand. Not sure if I would buy again. Wear after a summers use is fine, nothing wrong there or with the bearings, but think I'll take it to my shop and have them rebuilt as expect that is the issue. Will try some other pads too as my usual lifeline ones clearly aren't doing the job on these rims

Get some 3M Leading Edge (Helicopter) Tape its pretty tough stuff add to chainstays and around bottom bracket area using a heatgun or hair drier, it will protect frame from chain drops.

Couldn’t find the deda bars you had on Francis’ video. Like the look of them, got a link?

Thanks for the video. Tough luck on your recent racing misadventures. 🚴‍♂️ Trying to navigate the confusing EliteWheels store. I'd love to find some carbon disc wheels for my gravel bike...how do I find out if they offer through axle?

New wheel day 🔥 🤟🏽

Have you finished this build? What group set and breaks did you go with?

Elite SLT wheels are great, accidentally hit some pot holes and the wheels are still solid but not the ceramic bearings. Like i said i hit some pot holes which caused the ceramic ball bearings to break.

If you ever scratch black aluminum, pick up something like Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black Metal Finish. I originally used it for my firearms, but it works on anything alloy. Just take a cotton swab, dip, and rub back and forth over the scratched area and it'll blacken up nicely.

Whats the weight of 35mm Elite SLT rim brake wheelset?
