Engineering curmudgeon and bicycle genius Hambini has had nothing but good things to say about this company and their wheel sets, in fact I don't think I've heard anyone complain about Winspace wheels. Good to know there is still a good option for rim brakes out there. Great vid as usual.
Love rim brakes but never understood the whole carbbon braking surface , just doesn't make any sense to me . Still I appreciate the fact that there is still some manufacturers that haven't forgotten about rim brakes 👍.
I'm in the same boat, 4 years already on my current Zondas, with over 22.000 km and over 250.000m of climbing on them, and they are still going strong! I'd like to upgrade them to something lighter and a little wider, and so far some 19C ~1400g custom build with aluminium rims are the only real alternative in my books.
@@n22pdf mostly likely DT Swiss 240 hubs, Duke Roadrunner 23 rims (19.5C internal, 23 mm external) and DT Swiss Revolite spokes. Aerolite would work nice for lighter riders and reduce the weight a bit.
I used to do that ride in the 90’s with my panga bike. I hope you get some videos of the event. Maybe I will see you next year on the start line in Colon.
My only concern with these wheels is the rim width. I have older bikes that actually may not be wide enough in the fork or seat stays to allow the brakes to open up wide enough to accommodate the 28mm external width.
Man, I’m so glad you said that because you are 100% right I love rim break. I think they look cool and it’s just something we grew up on hundred percent right thank you.
Man, I love the fact that you mentioned tubular. I’m riding some vision carbon wheels that are tubular and let me tell you they’re super light the bike super fast cruising speed on that things about 28 to 30 miles an hour with no effort as well as are just the best and I’m glad you mentioned that because you know I don’t think we need to abandon tubular you know completely, I think it’s great and they’re also in anyway excellent content man I love watching your stuff very professional thank you😂🎉
Luis, just trust me, try this wheelset with tubeless using Gp5000 str 700x28 with 60 - 70 psi. I have all types of high-end wheels, and the hyper is great when compared to the western sticker brands.
One of my bikes (Steel frame) has rim breaks. I also transformed it to a 1 X instead of a 2 X. I greatly like that bike. I like the simplicity of that mechanic.
I was an anti disc cyclist till about 5 months ago. I purchased a Ti road bike with disc and man! They are AMAZING! I am NOT going back to rim ever again lol.
I rented a disc brake bike on my recent holidays in the mountains a few weeks ago. Had it for one week, and man, I can tell you, there was actually NO difference to my rim brake bikes. Disc brake bike was equipped with complete Ultegra set.
In one ride video, you spoke of a friend who bought himself a steel frame for his retirement present. Would you mind talking more about his bike and its specs?
Loved the video straight talking no BS maybe some time try a set of Swissstop BXP break pads on your alloys they are great keep safe Luis thank you a great set of wheels those Hyper 23s R
I live in a part if the Northeast where all I do is climb and descend. I'm skeptical of using a rim bake carbon rim, I know they say they have solved any issues, and if I lived in Florida I would get a set, but I'm not willing to take the risk where I live.
Hi Luis, it would be interesting to see the long term wear on these carbon rims. Early carbon rims were seen to have a problem with wearing away and delamination of the carbon. I know you have had the Roval's a while now, so maybe have a close look at the braking surface to see how they're doing?
hi Luis I'm using also winspace' i have 2 set of wheels both rim and disk brake, my feedback is they look like better than mainstream brand , and as know they offer tubular wheels too.
Great review, how do these compare to the mixed depth Elitewheels you reviewed a while ago? I'm at the moment in between these two but I still think the Elitewheels ones are the best value for money.
I was hoping a company like winspace would buy the rights to A-Force AL33 rims that went away a few years ago. People still try to hunt those rims down for alumina wheel builds.
I’m also old school and use rim brake bikes. Sadly I don’t race anymore and my tubulars are just used when ever I know I’m going to a route that is smooth. I would like to know if you have any tips , or any tires recommendation for using my tubulars wheels more often.
Do carbon wheels make any sense? If they get hit by a rock or something else that impacts the carbon structure they will fail. They make sense for a race but for someone who wants to ride their wheelset for years and doesnt race? Do they make sense.
Shout out to Winspace for keeping rim brakes alive!
Exactly Bro!

Thanks for watching Michael👍🏾
braking is my #1 concern
Let me get the 🍿. Excited to see these beautiful rim brake wheels 🫶
Let the entertainment begin😎
Glad to see the darkstar build stick around
It's definitely enjoying It's second life👍🏾
I am also a lover of rim brakes. They are on all my road bikes, whether the group sets are electronic or mechanical.
Love rim brakes but never understood the whole carbbon braking surface , just doesn't make any sense to me .
Still I appreciate the fact that there is still some manufacturers that haven't forgotten about rim brakes 👍.
Wish more brands followed in Hed’s footsteps with alloy brake track
👍🏾
I'm looking for Campy, 11speed, rim brakes. I've had a hard time justifying swapping my Zondas, however. Keep up the great content!
Zondas are awesome wheels.. I have zondas ans shamal ultras they are really nice 😊 must say these hyper wheels do look very nice .. Pete

Thanks for watching. I have been using Vittoria Corsa Control for the last few years, and they have worked great.
How does it compare to the Campy wheels you've got? And are you using Campy 12sp in a 1X configuration, on the Darkstar?
I haven't used them on the Campy equiped bike to get an equivalent comparison.
Tough to say without doing that. It's 11 speed 1x 👍🏾
What about the carbon wear with the rim brake ?
Nothing unusual yet. They are still fairly new.
@@thegoodwheel Is the braking power ok with carbon wheels with rim brakes ? What if i live in mountains and i have to make 1000 + descents ?
