I cannot not understand how you guys do not feel the need to put a link for the wheels in you notes Come on, get real!

Love my Hunts they were the first really good upgrade for my bike :-)
Comment from : @paulgordon7526

Good as the prices of bikes have got ridiculous in the last 15 years
Comment from : @outdoor75

I love my FarSports wheels They are sub 1100g, 24mm internal width, hooked, with a DT240 hub They were $900
Comment from : @Silidons91

I have a set of Light Bicycle wheels for 4 years I am about to buy another set They are not as good as my friends Zipp 404s but I paid less than half the cost and they are still going strong I like them; they go well; and I prefer my money in my pocket
Comment from : @MichaeldeLacy-m6m

I cannot watch a wheel and tyre not being aligned properly with logos and valve It's violence! Also, it costs at least 200 AeW* at 10kp/h brbr*Aesthetic Watts
Comment from : @niklasbirksted8175

Shouldn't this be named, the best Chinese made carbon wheel set vs the best Chinese made carbon road wheel set with a western logo printed on the side?
Comment from : @dombaker6210

Nice comparison I tent to choose the OEM Carbon wheels
Comment from : @mmi7835

Bicycle components have been way overpriced, with middlemen and anti-competitive practices such as Minimum Advertised Prices and bans on sales to overseas customers The chickens have come home to roost, and I have no sympathy beyond local bike stores, which are also being extorted

Great video @roadcc! LB rims are literally bombproof, I love them I'm running LB WR38 Falcon Pro gravel rims, Flyweight front, laced with Sapim CXRays onto Hope RS4's Finished off with Rene Herse Barlow Pass Hand built by Ryans Builds Wheels Ride like a dream on the trails, gravel and tarmac
Comment from : @JustinWoods-r5d

Light bicycle are great wheels Absolutely bombproof, and they spec whatever you want I got a pair of falcons for the winter racer with a SON dynamo, no problem at all… cannondale AI dish - no problem Great wheels!!
Comment from : @JesperJames

What a load of waffle Who cares about Hunt…why is everything vs Hunt?? Totally irrelevant comparison to the audience that is not UK based Zero data in the testing, zero data just some random comments This channel is so lightweight
Comment from : @CG-99

I love my Lightbicycle Falcon Pros and I have sold several sets as a supplier You can save even more money weight and faff by ordering your Falcons without rim bed spoke holes at no extra cost, negating the need for rim tape By speccing their own hubs instead of DT and Pillar Aero spokes instead of Sapim CX Ray you get a similar weight, strength and the DT style ratchet system too - for a fraction of the price
Comment from : @99crashman

There's always so many positive comments about Light Bicycle wheels I just assumed they were uncover shills But I order WR40 set with DT240 during the black friday sale and they are really great And their customer service really was great Now I just hope they hold up in the long run like others have said
Comment from : @Mr_Zzzeee

Isn’t that 2 chinese wheel sets?
Comment from : @mindsmartie8975

I just don’t care I want to go faster but Knackered lungs means I’ll never do it
Comment from : @alien-bass

Thanks for the video Between my wife and I, we have purchased 10 sets of road, mountain and gravel wheels from Chinese brands Far Sports over the past 10 years The options available are far beyond western brands and the production and delivery times are not as long as you’d expect We’ve typically received our custom wheels from China in about 3 weeks I was initially concerned about warranty and service, but fortunately have never had any issues The quality is apparent not only in the rims, but also in build The spokes are properly and consistently tensioned We have never broken a single spoke in all these miles Customer service has been excellent and e-mails answered almost immediately
Comment from : @DaneKromer

HOW DO YOU MISS WINSPACE, CRW'S, ELITES IN THIS VIDEO?! HELLO?
Comment from : @BikesKomsCRO

they are not built in china/taiwan for a quality point of view - they are built there because it costs substantially cheaper to build the same set of wheels when compared to the ones locally (in the west)
Comment from : @PuneethBedre

Man that wavy look on the light bicycle falcons looks so good
Comment from : @oskarstaudte

Hunt are hardly top quality wheels
Comment from : @welshtype

My newest set are from China (Elite) as they were super cheap My other carbon set are hunts - again on cost Both have been absolutely fine… if a bit noisy at the hub!
Comment from : @nickporter3531

Nobody mentioned the Light Bicycle China wheels are made of the same carbon as Pinarello bikes 😊
Comment from : @americancheese

HUNT Wheels are absolutely shat!! Theres so many reported issues with their hubs and spokes out of true bad quality People stay away from them like the plague I'm surprised they are even featured here
Comment from : @americancheese

Excellent content - finally an honest test Please add 9 Velo / Winspace / Light Carbon / Magene / Yoeleo to the comparison
Comment from : @simonmurray2417

About a year and a half ago I took the risk and ordered a set of Lún Grapids for my gravel bike and I’ve loved them At the same time, a friend of mine went for Hunts and they broke 8months in
Comment from : @Sergio_Math

I'd buy Hunt, they had some great sales over the holidays But every review mentioning how loud the Hunt hubs are kept me away
Comment from : @djohnson1981

Even though the content is good, this video is a pain to watch Why so many ads? Terrible Please stop it Thank you
Comment from : @SabineLaMere

Lifetime warrantee and crash replacement is certainly worth 300 pound That being said, I am riding a set on Winspace wheels on my TT bike and couldn't be happier There is definitely value in the marketplace of Chinese direct to consumer wheels
Comment from : @chrisgilligan4968

LB turbo 50 are my first carbon wheels and even in slight wind I dont feel stable on bike But overall wheels are good
Comment from : @IGUR32

The hunts every time, no question - they cost a fraction more but far better to support a UK brand with back up and after sales service…
Comment from : @markedington7171

I really like how customizable the Light Bicycle- Wheels are Also, hooked for the win!

Comment from : @Mahammad-o5o

I can agree with the other comments when it comes to a long awaited comparison I built two (2) sets of Light Bicycle wheels for my S-Works SL7 and Diamondback Vitesse in 2021 Perhaps it is worth mentioning, I live in the mountains of north central Pennsylvania and average 3000 feet of vertical gain on my 45-mile road ride with both bikes setup with 1 X 12 drivetrain producing peaks of 700 watts when climbing out of the saddle I am no professional rider, however I am a machinist by trade and build my own wheels The first thing I always do before a new wheel build is shine a flashlight down inside the drilling area of the rims One thing I have noticed when it comes to the quality of Light Bicycle carbon rims in comparison to the likes of HED are how clean the drillings are in the "bed" of the rim No blistering of the carbon fiber as the cutters cut cleanly through I think too often wheel manufacturers neglect the proper maintenance and replacement of their tooling This is critical when it comes to structural integrity for maintaining correct spoke tensioning over time Lastly, the communication with Light Bicycle during the order process and after sales support far exceeds most other manufacturer brands that I have experienced How often have you ordered a set of rims and the manufacturer/seller sends you photos of everything laid out on a table along with photos of your order packaged up for shipping along with a tracking number? Light Bicycle is the type of Chinese company that makes an effort to exceed customer expectations with quality and pricing JMO!
Comment from : @bikelampdecor375

Great to see LB getting some love👍
Comment from : @rickmancini772

taiwan is a part of china
Comment from : @林予乐

I'm proud owner of Lightbicycle ar56 I bought for my Mahle x35 ebike It was the easiest way to order 32h carbon rim to fit my hub motor Full front wheel and only rear custom rim cost me 500$ with shipment and buying spocks and paying for build of rear wheel My bike lost around pound and looks betterbrbrAnd it's funny how my 30mm rims on other bike are more twitchy on wind than those 56mm
Comment from : @Mavczers

Been running Light Bicycle rims for years!
Comment from : @ogden99

Those ridiculously noisy Hunt hubs always put me off I’m used to quiet Shimano hubs
Comment from : @a1white

Thanks to “Love & Peace for All” EU policies, almost all the European brands you know will be bought by the Chinese manufacturers (which provided cheapies you all had been enjoying last 30 years) So don’t be upset We all paid them to grow and chipped in for this phenomenon
Comment from : @TheLimeCurd

Been using light bicycle for 12 years and probably 10 pairs of wheels, have had failures on 2 mtb rims, but using a 10year old road pair on my winter bike, just they are too narrow for the best tyres
Comment from : @christo878787

How much that Light Bicycle paid you to do this video?
Comment from : @AQBIKE

Oddly enough I prefer aluminium wheels Though I prefer off road and went with dt swiss gr1600
Comment from : @erikk7643

Why don’t we ever speak about Corima carbon wheels???? Made in France Performance is superb
Comment from : @nickd3846

the 1500 pounds that hunts cost it also buys you a piece of mind in case something happens Some people dont wanna take that risk
Comment from : @szagii_9447

Hunt are just a cheap Taiwanese brand owned by Pillar spoke family using open mold STREN rims and rather nasty Taiwanese or Chinese low quality hubs Ignore the marketing hype on this rubbish
Comment from : @emilychen7033

Hunt wheels are made in Taiwan, so this is mainland China vs Taiwan I have Elite Wheels, also made in China, and they have been excellent
Comment from : @jtrobinson2001

Chinese wheels were born to hit the #BRICS nations like a double martini for breakfast
Comment from : @sativagirl1885

Just bought a set from Scribe 50mm Elan Super Light for £1399 weighing in at 1260kg Anyone not heard of Scribe, look them up
Comment from : @williamyoung8659

you could add Elitewheels and Farsports wheels to comparison
Comment from : @razorree

Probably the dumbest comparison video You can tell this is a paid ad Not even close to a scientific comparison The b-roll shots of the chinese works/factory is also quite offensive
Comment from : @G0LFII

Why not compared with the most commen high quality chinese carbon wheel brands: Hyper and Elite Wheels?
Comment from : @snowking2357

HUNT and etc in ruins now
Comment from : @kentwong3818

Comment from : @thecommunist

Hunt wheels are manufactured in Taiwan Is that "Western"?
Comment from : @ptrmcrthr

How did you get to £1,180 - comes out way more when I spec them up the same on the website?
Comment from : @paulski107

Absolutely love your jacket pal, can't find it online though sadly
Comment from : @tinglydingle

Well I just ordered the LB Falcon Pro Turbo for my new Canyon! Few month wait due to Chinese new year but I’ll have to post a video review brbrThanks again @roadcc for the video
Comment from : @nickobsrt4

300quid for next day delivery life time warranty quicker customer service… It’s probably worth it… HOWEVER cycling wheel set prices are a joke
Comment from : @rodstevens7452

I'm in love with my Elitewheels set My GF has a pair of ICAN wheels and they are great too! Cheaper and easy to service
Comment from : @Onigure

Never made warranty claim on rims, if they are not true i true them myself or give it to local bike shop
Comment from : @heksogen4788

I actually have both brands, hunt on my road and light bicycle on my gravel bike, both are excellent wheels and value for money
Comment from : @davidcampbell9755

hunt wheels are the worst you could buythe hubs always stap and the spoke nipples rust out
Comment from : @piratepete1475

just building up a chinese (carbonda) all road with light carbon wheels the only thing non chinese is a sram groupset Ive tried an ltwoo on an old bike and they cant compete yet
Comment from : @juliandivett4244

How do these compare to Far Sports?
Comment from : @sustainf

A good thought provoking video I'd plump for the Chinese brand by a very narrow margin even though I run a set of Aluminium road wheels as winter wheels, I like them a lot! I like the look of the Chinese wheels but bling is matched by performance too!
Comment from : @aveedub7403

You should test Nextie Wave with Carbon spokes They even have a tabeless design and weight <1200g with 50mm depth
Comment from : @dgdinschweden

Hunt wheels are the worse I've ever ridden, the amount of lateral flex was ridiculous and the spokes rubbed each other causing a loud creaking noise Maybe they're better now but once disappointed is enough, also even still they don't use sapim cx-ray spokes they still cut cost by using pillar spokes which are cheaper
Comment from : @malmsey1541

I went with Hunts because of the lifetime crash and warranty I also needed a quick turnaround as my previous Alu Mavics had failed and I wanted to ride ASAP
Comment from : @lazzaboyman8003

Elite wheels are solid My go to Chinese brand
Comment from : @michaelcox5682

"This is not a paid promotion" while Hunt wheels placed all around the presenter on a couch for some reason and a Hunt wheel bag placed strategically centre of shot hanging directly above a couch so it would get in the way of anyone sitting on said couch, once again who knows why 😂
