My Cheapest Carbon Wheels: The 3-Year Test - Elitewheels

In June 2020, I bought a carbon wheelset from Elitewheels (ENT Disc) on AliExpress for just £265. 3 years later, how are they holding up?

My set is from a company called Elitewheels, and they are THE CHEAPEST carbon wheels I have ever bought. But understandably longevity is a big concern with these cheaper bike parts. Well after 3.5 years, and around 3500 miles (5600km), my set are still going strong. The carbon rim has not broken or delaminated, the spokes are all fine, the wheels still run very true, and the hubs have held up very well. However there appears to be some corrosion to deal with, some bearings have needed replacing. But considering the price I paid for them, and the mileage I’ve done, these have been a fantastic set of wheels! Affiliate links: Elitewheels ENT Disc: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DCu...
