This is a review of the Winspace Hyper 65. The Hyper 50 wheels have long been considered to the best in class and this is an aerofoil extension of those wheels. The wheels have been ridden in all weathers for over 4000km and in that time they have had no faults.
Aerodynamic performance is good, they are slightly faster than the 50. The deepened rim does increase the inertia of the wheel. From very low speeds the increased inertia is noticeable. The deepened section also results in worse stability than the Hyper 50.
Overall, a very well made wheel, aerodynamic performance is good.

Are you upset knowing that Alex "Peak Torque" was voted most handsome by the Winspace office staff?
Well, I was upset initially but then when I asked my colleagues in HR, they said I was more handsome.
😁😆😅
Ive been running the hyper 65mm rim on my TT bike since Dec 2020 and done about 7000 km on them. Despite the instability on windy days, they have been rapid. Also the roads where I live are awful, and these wheels have been essentially bulletproof.
Hyper 65 user here...in both rim brake and disc brake. Since owning both versions of these wheels, my wife wont allow me to ride outdoors because all the action I receive from women. Sure that action is usually swift punches to the face but, I prefer to call them love taps. Fast and stable wheels!
How are they on cross winds? Stable or scary to handle?
@@PhiyackYuh STABLE
Agreed, stable no issues. Popped a 1550 watt sprint at 165lbs. Solid wheels. Probably 4000 miles in them thus far
@@PatrickLino that’s impressive considering you’re in Chicago
@@jlwong92 What about Chicago exactly lol?
This video was fascinating. I have no idea wtf you were talking about most of it, but it helped inform my purchase decision today.
Hambini's preference is, lighter wheel, and no ceramic bearing.
The orange prison coveralls were starting to grow on me and then you switch to some amazing blue branded coveralls. Great Video
I always assumed hambini was actually shackled to the table underneath the princess blanket. It wasn't for our safety it was for his.
Thanks Hambini. I have wondered about the bigger wheels for a decade. Great job.
Thanks for another awesome review, have you tested the winspace hyper 38s? Id love to know your aero data compared to the 50 and 65 - do you think there would be a massive drop with the shallower rim?
Very well done. The state of the art for consumer-grade carbon wheels has long past the hype that was the nature of the beast when they became available. Now such nuances such as inertia, among other refinements, will be the difference that will separate the punters from the wankers - and there will always be (for better or worse) a market by and for wankers. For those who know, appreciate, and can make use of quality kit, Winspace and the rest represent the next level. You didn't mention cost, but it's assumed that your test wheels are priced for the average human or athlete rider to reasonably afford. One more time, from my own experience, those hubs look very decent, and I would bet a dollar/pound/euro that they're made by NovaTech since they are the big player in the hub game, and they make for almost everybody. Thanks again, and thanks to your hairdresser for giving you the good blow.
Found the Durianrider burner account
Currently TRIFOX wheels have taken over at my house. Don't have a lot of miles on them yet, so we'll see. I do like the Winspace wheels quite a lot, just came down to price for me. Not a pro rider, nor chasing marginal gains so Zipp and the like are of no interest to me. Next set of wheels are hopefully Winspace. Would love to give them a go. Much like the Japanese did years ago, the Chinese are learning and improving the quality of manufacturing quickly. Cheap or substandard Chinese goods are rapidly disappearing. Thanks, great channel.
Inertia is a thing to deal with for sure. If I go from a regular old shallow wheel to a deep wheel, the bike steers slower. It absolutely feels like it wants to go straight and requires more effort to move. You adjust to it, but if we can get the deep wheels to handle like a shallow rim, we'll have a winner. 1400 grams isn't 1400 grams unfortunately, but a pen is a pen.
Great review! Vulva hole and everything!
Even after all this time, you still make me bloody jump at the start of your videos lol
Would have been good to hear your opinion on how the break track has held up.
That freehand aero foil though.
I bought the Hyper 50's after your review a couple years back.....they've been solid after 5,000+ miles and my favorite aero wheelset that I've owned. I recently bought a pair of Lun 30's for windy conditions, as I've had a few instances where I nearly got blown off the road with the Hypers in 20-30 mph winds. So far, the Lun 30's handle the wind extremely well (I've actually had 27mm Eastons that would get a bit twitchy with sudden lateral gusts on the front wheel). I'd be curious how the Hyper 50's and Lun 30's compare aerodynamically, not that the 30's are really an aero wheel per se, as I don't really seem to be too much slower overall. I was considering the Hyper 65's for TT's, but after this I think I'll pass unless they improve them.
Is this wind problem due to the wide side walls affecting by perpindicular gusts? The solid plane does become more of a wing or a sail than a spoke I suppose but I have never owned a fancy carbon/ceramic grade wheelsets. Also, when it gets really windy its time to turn around and not ride for me. That rim is definately close to wing size for model planes I imagibne it could be a real issue.
@@michaelrowave Yep. One time I clearly remember coming around a 90 degree curve to the left....tailwind to my back before the curve, and solid crosswind (a good 20-25+ mph wind) into the curve. It was an open, windswept area (in southern California at the time), and I had to slow way down to avoid getting pushed off the road. Moderate wind conditions aren't too bad with the Hyper 50's though.
Hey I’ve been eyeing to get a pair of lun wheels not the hyper version. How would you rate them since you own both of the rim? Is there any big difference? I would assume hyper is more stiff as it comes with carbon spokes and aside of that any other feels you can tell? Thanks for the reply!
@@adriankok3095 Well, I certainly don't feel like I'm riding a sub-par wheelset with the Luns, but it really depends what you're looking for. The Hyper 50's are my all-time favorite wheels and just "feel" fast on the flats and the climbs. The Lun 30's that I have are great for an all-purpose training wheelset. I'm sure comparing say the Lun 45's to the Hyper 50's would be a more accurate comparison, but for me the 150 gram weight penalty (for the rim brake version which I have) would be a no-go. To me what makes the Hypers great are the aero + weight benefits. If you're primarily riding on flatter ground though, then the Lun 45's would likely be a fine wheelset and plenty stiff enough.
@@drouleau Thanks so much for the reply man! Guess the wheel is good enough for someone like me who do not previous own any carbon wheels. just hoped that the wheel stay true and safe. i usually ride a mixed terrain but since i am not racing or so i think the lun might be a better choice for a first carbon wheelset.
When you use your red pointer on the PowerPoint my cat goes fucking mental at the screen. She is a hambini fan too.
I have Winspace 38 mm wheelset. I have cracked rear rim riding over a big hole in the road. Now, I asked some dealers and also the Winspace company to provide me the spare rim. They refused me. Due this I can't recommed it.
There's definitely something in the low inertia wheels, I've used a pair of 60mm carbon wheels for the past two years and recently switched back to some shallow alloy wheels which are overall much heavier than the carbon pair but still accelerate noticeably faster. However even despite this I think I'd choose the deeper wheels as they just look so good.
A shallower, heavier wheel has higher inertia than a lighter, deeper wheel. For a disc I = 0.5 m r^2 . mass increases, r increases as centre of mass of a segment of the wheel is further from the centre. So maybe you're just fitter if the wheels feel nippier!
Hambini please do Campagnolo WTOs 33s, 45 and 60 sometime. Thanks for the great reviews!
Another cracking video! Love these actual reviews with Legitimate data and actual good amount of testing time. Keep up the great work as always.
Have you ever done much testing from smaller West world wheel builders? Or are they less likely to send stuff for review 😂
The "west world" bike suppliers are just like the CN bike suppliers - the difference is they put a different sticker on it and triple the price
@@Hambini Have you reviewed caden wheels?
@@subhumanpostalworker8051 nope i haven't
Winspace's wheels' weights are very impressive, D33 is able to get down to 1330g, which is mind blowing considering the price, and how heavy similar western companies' offers are. (fulcrum, campy, zipp, shimano, etc.)
Though, can anyone comment on if such weight reduction comes with compromises. (less durable?)
I am not a top ameture and just ride DT Swiss 40 wheels. I realise this is not aero, but I often find dining along the coast in 25-50 km/h cross wind I struggle with the bike. Can only imagine 65mm wheels would be challenging for me and spoil my ride.
On the subject of ride quality don't forget you are riding on 23s which are stretched very flat across the 19mm rims but those traditionally suited 13mm or 15mm rims... most folks would now be running 25 or even 28mm these days with some aero and inertia compromises.
Right on! I experienced a pant shitting high speed wobble on my Diverge Pro Carbon's first ride due to wheel imbalance and the fact that the jokers at the shop never checked the front fork tightness on assembly. I followed instructions to set up my front end and balanced my wheels exactly as you've done. I used an appropriate weight of lead solder wire wrapped around two spokes. You can 'shift' this weight one spoke ahead or back as required.
I enjoyed your video!!
Love to see a review on the LUN 45MM wheels.. Thanks for your videos !!
Looks like you’ve sold me on this company. I’m looking to buy the 50s as well. Day to day riding. Your review of the frame was very good as well
I agree on the qualities of the 50s and would recommend them over the 38s on hilly terrain. I was pleasantly surprised by their behavior on climbs and crosswinds. For the high mountains, certainly the 38.
I'm thinking of buying 38's but reading this maybe the 50's are better. I too ride on sh1t roads. I'm looking more for durability over out and out speed. Would you still go for the 50's over the 38's?
@@dog6963 The 38 are farsport wheels (Dt Swiss 240, sapim cx ray spoke). They don't have the stiffness of hyper 50 wheels (carbon spokes). On these two wheels, I put GP5000 tires in 25. If you ride on bad roads, put wider tires.
"Pen has been working very well today, not just this pen" :D
Well I think you got me sold on the Windspace 50 I’ll probably be dishing out my Bontrager 50, and I believe Windspace is already sponsoring a western team ( Florida ) GC Performance Mentioned it in one of their videos, Hambini, contact him to confirm, awesome video, thanks again
When are we going to see a picture of the famed hairdresser? We haven't seen him yet.
Great Video. Especially the very last part. Chinese OEM Bike Brands (lightcarbon, velobuild, Yoleo, WinSpace etc) overcome other Brands. This would be an interesting topic to talk ... maybe with some interviews and your personal oppinion !?
Hey Hambini, I always like when you review those chinese brand. It would be nice to have more review of those big CN manufacturers (Yoeleo, Ican, lightbicycle..). The price of cycling wheels are going up and a lot of customers are considering buying from those brands. Although, exept for windspace and hyper, there is very few honest review. It would help to know if we are buying crap or not. ALSO, I see more and more of those wheels with some novatech hubs. What is your opinion on Novatech ? good berings or nah ? -Thanks
I have had a set of the Yeoleo 50mm wheels for 3 years now. They have around 8,000 miles on the , I just now got around to doing a bearing service, the bearings are clean and still rotate (spin) as good as the day they were new. I know you have mentioned the Yeoleo wheels, do you have a link to your testing of them? Thanks, Don B.
Informative, I'm about to overhaul my hub similar to that one. Didn't realise you just pull them off 👍
if you google winspace teardown, it shows you how to do it. usually they stick.
Great video Mr H
I have 60mm wheels and balence mine with stick on golf lead weights under the tube on the rim bed tires and tubes all on and just marked with tape so they all match up.
I did try to do this with some tubes with sealent in them but as it moves its hard to pinpoint the right place 😆.
Hambini, you going to do follow-up reviews of the 2023 hoops?
Loved this video, been debating getting some of these for a while.
Not sure if you've done a video on this, but would be good to see your bike setup of that Look you showed, looks great!
Dura ace 11spd, winspace wheels, some saddle that works for him, cables, seatpost, bars, some pedals, bar tape, cassette, stem etc. It's a bike.
@@aaron___6014 who's a clever boy 😂
F1 writers has some interesting ideas on the new changes to the car, wheels are now 18 inches from 13 inches. A walkthrough would be cool, since you are into drag.
-Ru Paul
Any chance of a discussion of LeMond 8?
I own two sets of Hyper 50's. One set I ride in Spain in mostly sunny and dry conditions. The other one in The Netherlands in more wet conditions. The set in The Netherlands is now 10 months old and I have ridden approx 7000km with them. Probably 1000km in the rain. The last 3 months I noticed the rim shows quite a lot of wearing from braking. Also the bearings need to be replaced in both rear en front wheel. But I was surprised (in a negative way) about the wearing on the brake aere of the rim (rim brake). Whats your experience with that? You also rode 4000km in more or less the same conditions I suppose. (The Spanish set is like new after 4000km by the way).
Would be the abrasion from more contamination of the pads in the wetter environment. I live in a dry sunny climate similar to Spain and carbon rim wheels last a longer time. Saying that I'm using carbon disc now so my time are like new at 10000.
Why are my rim brake wheels wearing out at the brake track from muddy wet riding?
I think you've answered your own question there 😁
@@galenkehler I ride rim brake for over 25 years. Carbon wheels, all the brands. The cheap, the high priced. These Hypers are somewhere in between, not cheap, not highly overpriced. I had much better experience with for instance my FFWD wheels. And wet is not similar to muddy by the way.
@@galenkehler yeah, rim brake fanboys hating on disc brakes is funny, because they're just slowly ruining and destroying their rim. Idiotic. Especially with carbon, the lolz, as for recreational riders, why is carbon even a choice for wheels; nothing but issues in the long term.
@@jasper12785 I disagree with you on the applicability of carbon rims for recreational riders, if they are disc brake. The carbon rim has a much greater fatigue life and resistance to corrosion, so it could last a lot longer.
Ironically I just bought a set of wheels for my commuting bike, monocoque tri-spoke front, and disc rear, that should be lifetime wheels. Tubeless, with disc brake, no spokes to corrode, other than normal bering replacement these should outlast me.
When do you expect to review the 2023 model? Thanks a lot!
The Hyper model looks like a nice wheel but I was also looking at the Lun road wheels they sell. As far as I can tell apart from minor rim differences and steel rather than carbon spokes the hubs are a similar offering (with standard bearing sizes, which I’m a big fan of).
I really like Lun road too. No ceramic bearing, steel spoke maybe more flex, easier to ride for an average cyclist and of course 400€ cheaper ! I may consider this set soon (maybe when SAPIM spokes will come back in)
Well done Engineer Hambini and thanks ❤️
Can you talk about wheel balance
Aaaaaahhhh!! At last, a PROPER intro!! Rgr
Love the review! mental note for next time is making sure Laptop isnt connected to the bluetooth speaker at full whack
If you are referring to the loud intro, that my friend is the traditional Hambini greeting!
I have purchased two sets with a promotion Winspace had. Asked to exchange to a disc version from a rim brake model, same price and I would paying shipping to return and ship identical exchange and they said no. Never again. Horrible customer service.
cut and blow? is that all?
My HD gives me a nice shampoo, head massage, reverse perm (takes the curl out and makes it straight), and finishes off with a good blow.
Great video!
Btw what does it mean : aero summary is ~180w @30kmph for hyper 65? Does it mean ~180w is required to maintain 30kmph for extended period of time?
Depends on many other factor I guess buy in real life I need much less than 180w to maintain 30kph
What the fuck, you got a sponsor?! By squarespace!?
I mean i don't mind, i'm just surprised they had a barge pole long enough to touch you
Another great vid. Love the shiny techy pencil thingy. Not a fan of your new look....hair looks great!
I'm about 4500km on my 38mm Hypers, same with no issues. I have Yeoleo 35mm gravel wheel, same 1400gr weight. Biggest difference I notice is the heavier outer weight on the winspace vs Yeoleo. The winspace are much more stable with weight on the dish and the Yeoleo seems to spin up a bit quicker, even with gravel tires. But I assume that is down more weight on the carbon dish (outer) on winspace than Yeoleo.
Just ordered a pair of Yeoleo C38 Pilot wheels. Carbon hubs and spokes (listed 1198 grams). Be interested to see how they go - love to see you review them.
i cant properly wake up until i hear that intro...
Thanks a lot for the great video mister beaver! 💕
So I really have no idea of taking care of my wheelsets. I only know how to pedal because I'm very, very dumb.
Dear lord Bambino, how do I know how to replace the bearings without having access to your miraculous machinery?
And what bearings should I get as a replacement? I've ridden my Hypers about 8-10k last year.
I'm thinking of going back to 35 mm carbon as I like that lighter rim feel off the mark. I use U shape rims as I've found in crosswinds they handle better in a 45mm than my older more conventional trailing edge rims.
My personal preference is wheels with low inertia. I think that is the way the market is going. Farsports have recently released a very very lightweight wheel.
@@Hambini which very lightweight wheel did farsports release?
Thanks for providing these reviews. I have read through your wheel power data charts. I'm curious about how a modern carbon wheel would compare to an aluminum one in performance. I ride older bikes with rim brakes and trying to cut through the BS to figure out if wheels will be that much of a performance upgrade.
Wheels and tires are the number one upgrade you can make. Many cat 1 races won with great wheel sets and alloy bikes like caad13 and allez sprint
Thanks for the great review! At this price point, I was looking at some used Roval CLX 64s. Your take on the better purchase?
Frenchie ! How about Fulcrum & Rolf ? Helping a friend build up a track bike and are wondering which hoops to use.
eerrm.. neither are my favourites
HAMBINI FOR PRIME MINISTER!!!
What is your price benefit ratio for bikes? Specialized might have great price but less quality vs a yoeleo. Anybody other than Hambini please chime in. I’m leaning to giant but maybe yoeleo
Hambini said it... Fastest 65mm wheel he's tested.
@@frankmoore993 that’s not what I’m asking. I’m asking what is the best value for money framewise
If you focus only on price, yoeleo is the clear winner. Lots of people value the familiarity of Specilized/Merida and so are quite happy paying premium. It really just depends on the things you value.
If you are looking at price as some kind of indicator of performance and quality, then buy Yoeleo.
I'm not sure if it was Hambini who madethe comparison, but, cycling equipment sales and marketing is just like audiophile products. Once you get beyond an obvious threshold in price/quality, it's splitting hairs to make a sale.
Hambini did a Giant TCR video review, I bought one last year and I am a bit disappointed. It's a OK bike but expensive for what it is. Also the stock wheels on a TCR advenced disc 1 (not pro) are not good.. I would def check for a windspace or yoeleo if I were you
Nice boilersuit !
Nice overalls 🤛🏻
You mentioned for a crit setup 50 front, 65 back for a balance of inertia and aero. But wouldn‘t it be smarter the other way round. 65 in the front being more exposed to the wind and 50 back for the faster acceleration? Or am I missing something? (besides this setup not being very common and not considering stability in cross winds)
This depends on how you want to look at it. The front wheel would give you the instability, so it's better IMO to go for a shallower front. It's less out and out aerodynamic but you won't care about that when you end up in a hedge. For the rear, the airflow characteristics are quite different and you have much more weight over the back wheel so even in gusty conditions, you could run a 65mm+ wheel. There will always be an element of personal preference
You have to overcome "resistance" as a package. You don't accelerate faster by moving weight to the back just because it's the drive wheel. The issue is actually where the wheels are in the "system". Which is to say you have to test to optimize each wheel. Total weight is total weight and shifting it around in the wheels doesn't matter. It does matter in theory if you have a choice to move weight from the rims to the hubs but again these are not binary choices we're dealing with unless you're an engineer starting from scratch.
Take a look at the Specialized Roval differentiated wheels introduced with the Tarmac SL7. That's the kind of differentiation I expect to see. Generally though the rule of thumb is to go big in the back simply because of stability issues and riders can usually tolerate a deeper rim in the back than in the front for a road race and often for time trials too. But it also depends on the rider and the frame geometry.
@@Hambini Fancy doing an analysis on how many watts it takes to spin up a 50 vs a 60? I did it a while back for 1.6kg vs 1kg and assumed all mass at 350mm radius. Accelerating 20-30mph over 8 seconds requires additional 4 watts to add the rotational energy (I think). Considering at my weight I have to put in about 600-700 W it feels like, if aero claims are to be believed, you would save more than that in aero over the entire lap rather than those one or two turns.
@@elliotpollard9083 you're correct, when you do the actual calculations, the "spin up" effect on acceleration is negligible.
There is a strong placebo effect which can affect a riders result tho 😉
@@Hambini If inertia makes a difference in crits, shouldn't track sprinters use even shallower wheels than crit riders? I'm too lazy to do the math on this one (I'm just here watching while I'm changing my tires for the Saturday ride), but I'm on Team "Inertia is negligible" .
On the winspace website page for hyper 2020 wheels alex 'peak torque' is introduced as '2021's most handsome' by Winspace female office staff LOL
he paid for that
When you discuss the aerodynamic stability. What portion of the graph would we be most likely to experience in real world senarios? 0-1000, 10-100? I have a hard time applying that graph to what I might experience on a bike. Thanks for the video!!!
This depends on where you live. If you live in New Zealand the wheel of choice would be different to a desert
0:23 cutest turn around on earth, to be expected from a child though
started this video at work without my headphones, now everyone knows who you are
0.6mm runout both radial and lateral after 4000km is pretty wild.
Meaning good or bad?
is that coverall the new merch? take my moneyyyyyy! lol
Hey! I can't find the video of absulte black hollow cage anywhere. They took it down or something? A friend bought it..
Poor boy.
Have you had a look at the budget Windpace Lun range? I was thinking about getting a set of the 45mm or 60mm.
Yeah that will be interesting.
I'm curious what's the real world difference between lun range and hyper range
@@joeblack3345 hyper carbon spoke.lun alu spoke.
If aero is more important than weight, the Lún wheels could be a good option. With tubeless tires the weight difference is not that big.
@@nlfiets I’m a 90kg rider on a good day. Weight really isn’t all that important to me :)
the famous PP featuring, poppers.
I ride an all road bike and i care about comfort and speed. Do i need one of your BB's? And if yes. Which one?
I love your content.
You had two different tyres, a 4000sii and a 5000. I think the 5000 clincher is slightly lighter than the 4000.
Dont worry once theyre in the same level as the big brands, theylll increase the prices
Great review; Did you measure the center alignment? I have 2 sets of wheels (Zipp and Hyper), same cassette, same disc brake. When I change them out I need to readjust my brake caliper and rear derailleur. Same when I put the Hypers on a different frame that runs Shimano rims.. I wonder if there is a slight alignment issue with the Hypers; just enough to be annoying....
Hey Hambini! did you have any experience with CSC and Elite wheels?
not yet
Please review the Hyper SE steel bearing wheels if possible.
Almost 5000 km on my Hyper 50s and they are as good as new. True as if just came from the factory. And I have at least 20 kilos on this skinny guy here :):):)
Hambini, would you say the Hyper 23 SE wheels are a better choice because of the steel bearings not ceramic? Thanks
Nice aero bar tape!
Would you say the hypers stay tru for a reasonable length of time? Are the designed in a way, that they have just as a good chance to stay tru vs. the big name manufacturers wheels? Thank you for all your videos.
Any thought about the 38mm version ? I would LOVE to have your opinion on those !
Where's the Scylon build video and review? Can't get parts to build it, or have there been issues? Nary a peep since you unboxed it months ago.
Planning to buy ROVAL RAPIDE CLX 2 wheels. What do you think of wheel sets with different cross sections on the back and front. The front wheel is 35 mm wide which seems to be a poorly aerodynamic solution.
Can we get your thoughts on UHMWPE spokes (rope spokes)? Is the reduced rotational inertia worth it? Do the aerodynamics negate any gains?
Thanks.
Aerodynamics are not good and negate any speed savings on road bikes due to lower inertia. They also have lower lateral stiffness compared to steel (I think about a third less?)
They have a place on mtb and maybe some gravel applications where acceleration, deceleration and a smoother ride are appreciated. If you want the low weight, cush and don't mind subtandard aero and high price then go for it
is hambini gonna sell NordVPN on next video?
@@pauljennings3572 he seem so muted after the absolute crap incident, he's definite muted........
Hi Hambini, I heard reviews saying their default ceramic bearings are sh*t and they recommend me to change them to steel bearings instead. I recently pre ordered the team edition 50mm wheelset, the one with colourful spokes.
I also had increased the ratchet teeths of all my hubs on other wheels. So I was wondering if I can do that to this wheelset as well.
They improved the bearings on the 2023 model and use standard ones now
If you are a Light rider, without much power, Low rotational inertia would matter... But if you are a Heavy rider, with Lots of Power, acceleration and Top speed are not your problem! Hence, If you are Heavy rider, I would error on the side of Strength and Durability/Resilience. Heavy riders are probably a Lot harder on components, especially wheels, than lighter riders, so gaining a little weight could give addled longevity and security/safety without necessarily compromising their speed and acceleration advantage over lighter riders... Anyway, my two cents... *Also a heavier rider might be Better on 65's vs a lighter rider would be better on 50's...
4k for set of bearings? Feeling well mate?
Just give us the shit we want: will ceramic wheel bearings make the bike faster?
@Hambini I'm curious of the effect unbalanced wheels have? Some are worse than others but most can be seen and felt when spun on a workstand. Sometimes it makes the bike shake like crazy.
I've weighted mine and they feel much better but always wondered how much, if any, gain there is from it?
Good point!
You have to balance every set of wheels and count into the valve!
I take these little lead spheres they use for fishing and glue them into the spoke holes.
Game changer
I think I might have to do a video on this to explain
Definitely do a video on that please, I’ve already thought it strange that we don’t do it on bike wheels.
Hambini time!!!
thinking of buying a lathe and wanted to know which one Hambini has, i remember it was red and had a Rohm chuck, but that was about it. Any one remember which video he mentioned it in?
graphics could use some work, that camo pattern makes them look dirty all the time.
For the people who also want the bling, which western wheel brand can you recommend for its performance?
Just go to your local sign shop and get some stickers.
I know people who do this with their Chinese wheels 🤷♂️
I'm gonna do this on my farsports lol
