Ufortunately I am still alive 😂 looking forward to rocking these on an upcoming build
Haha! Send pics when complete!
I’m waiting for the review on 50/58
Thanks for sharing your feedback P 👍🏽
Me too! Hopefully I can nab a pair.
The rear wheel is the exact same as what farsports/wheelsfar uses in their 50mm deep and 30mm wide hyper wheels. The external dimension is actually listed/marketed as 30mm wide and not 31.5mm (which is the widest part of the rim but not at the interface which is 'just' 30mm). I guess it adds to the marketing bluff to list the wider dimension since we seem to see wider is better nowadays. If I am farsports, I would list the widest dimension too, easy gains!
great point right there. EASY gains!
Which is cheaper? Same hubs?
@@Wanderer25 Wheelsfar Hyper is cheaper on my case: I ordered a 45/50 hyper set with carbon spokes and 54T ratchet for $999 delivered to the US. I've opted for steel bearings but the ceramic upgrade was not much. Hubs seems to be the same, even rim tape look the same :) My set weights 1,202g with rim tape installed. Wheels perform on par with my other wheels and it is extremely hard to beat the value for the money. Downside is that ordering from Wheelsfar is a bit of a pain. For reference, I ordered the Wheelsfar RD270 hubs, FSD45CM-30T-HLH front rim and FSD50CM-30T-HLH rear rim with their carbon spokes. A 58 version is also available: FSD58CM-30T-HLH which is probably what No.6 will soon offer
Hyper from winspace?
Hyper series from wheelsfar - yeah, same name, same spelling 😛
Wheels list, wheels list, wheels list!!
indeed!
@@PatrickLino me too!!! List List List!
@@RideNowKen coming soon!
I am looking at an Enve Fray, these would be ideal. Still wrapping my head around such wide rims tho. Thanks for the review as always
Enve Fray? Big baller over there!
Great summary. I like most of the design of these wheels. However, I think the internal width of that front wheel is a bit too wide for most road tyres (not that I have tested it myself). I can see why you have ran a 30 on there. I can definitely see how that would make it comfortable though! Especially for these British roads
Thanks for watching!
That is light for 45/55…. my compagnolo Bora Ultra WTO C23 is 1325kg ….its very stable on descent … good on climbing
Good stuff.
Paired with 32mm tyres they would probably be great for long distance cycling. Plump tyres for all day comfort !
YUP. I took these wheels on a 130 mile ride a month ago. Even with 30c tires they stretch to 32mm. Very very comfortable.
It's strange that they kept the rear width smaller than the front. I'm guessing it makes the ride more compliant when the tire ballons into a light bulb shape. I would be curious to see just how much sharper the streched front tire affects handling.
Also helps reduce tire sidewall cuts. More tire stretch and less light bulb shape means the sidewalls are more exposed to punctures.
Some say that the rear wheel should be wider for comfort / compliance as it bears most of the weight, and air flow is already disturbed.
@@eabe60094 I wonder what Roval's take is on this...
@@PatrickLino I recall Roval releasing the Rapide CLX as "tube-only", just to release an updated version shortly after that was "tubeless"... so I guess Roval's take on things change with the wind ;-)
@PatrickLino Patrick I ride on pretty rough, patchy roads with about 5k ft of climbing a week. On the fence between the no6 50/58s, crw cs5060, and farsports evo5 s. What would you pick?
Hi Patrick, do you have any insight into when the 50/58 will be available to purchase? Still in 2024? Thank you for your response. Enjoy your vids!
October 28th 🔥
Hey Patrick, I tried to use your coupon to purchase a set, but it has expired. Any chance to have it reactivated?
Howdy. New code is Patty50 to receive $50 off. Thanks!
Phew! I thought you were that guy who died alone in that forest reserve...
@@swites 😂😂😂
Do you have video prepped for wheel reviews that starts “if you are seeing this video I’m already dead”? 😆
Yeah…”Don’t tell my wife how much everything costs 😭”
3:46 With all honesty and not to ridicule you. You need a bigger bike. According to the dimensions of your legs, and body height. A XL size would've been better. And if it is indeed an "XL" size then you need a "XXL". 8:36
6:07 Cervelo
6:35 Specialized
8:29 One of the main problems with cyclist. Unless you're using it as an emergency or a non stop continuous maneuver until you can get back in the right lane. This can cause accidents for oncoming cyclist going in the opposite direction.
8:36 with a large bike that fits you. You'll notice your performance will be better and you'll feel and look more comfortable on it.
@@johnfitzgerald1192 All opinions are welcome here. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the wonderful feedback on the No.6 Wheels. I'm currently deciding on the Hyper 3 D45 and the No.6 wheels 45/50. Which would you recommend (with GP5000 30mm) ?
The No6 👍🏾
big Patty
Thank you kind sir!
Hi Patrick! Quick question-are these wheels 34mm at the front right? I saw that the Tavelo frame specifies a max tire width of 32mm. How has your experience been with the Attack in this setup? How much clearance is there between the tire and fork? Is it enough? No rubbing issues? Thanks!
Thanks for watching! No issues or rubbing at all. Paired with 30c GP5000s. Same goes on SL8 and Polygon Helios frames, respectively.
@@PatrickLino great, good information. thanks for the response :)
Still wondering if these would work on the Yishun 086 since the stated max tire width is 30C
Might need to test this out before it gets cold.
What would be your top wheel recommendation so far?
@@gregkane8635 tough to say, it’s been a great year for wheel releases. What type of wheels ya looking for?
@ giant tcr. I have the slr42mm. They’re FAST but 19mm internal and 23mm ext, I’d like to run say 50mm depth and 30mm tyres so a 30mm ext would be needed id imagine. Leaning towoards the yoeleo you done recently in the 50 :)
@@gregkane8635 Yoeleo is tough to beat with their current sale right now, that stacks with my code too.
@@PatrickLino does your code work with panda podium?
@ On No.6 website
Hi, Patrick can I check if these No.6 wheels with 30c tyres will fit the Gen.3 Propels? I have an Adv SL and am hoping to get these wheels!
The easiest way is to physically measure the tire clearance on your particular frameset. Specifically near the chainstays and near the inside top of the fork.
5:05 the only thing you getting roasted on is cross chaining 😂
@@ariffau depends who you ask
Do you think 28mm tires could be wide enough for the 28mm internal width ?
Personally would not use 28s on these wheels. Even 30c is pushing it, but they have been totally fine.
What’s the advantage of going 45/50 (mullet) instead of say 50/50??
Marginal weight savings and marginal increase in crosswind stability. Pretty insignificant if you weigh 75kg, but might be more tangible at 60kg.
A little less wight and a little less effect by cross winds.
@@PatrickLino hey thanks. Their gravel wheelset looks just as nice too. The DPRT is beautiful this time of year FYI 😏 ride on Pat!
Excellent review
Thanks Duncan!
Have you also run 28mm tyres on these?…What is the measured width for these?
I have not, and no intentions to do so. I reckon stretches to around 30-31mm
@@PatrickLino I thought the 30mm tyre might be tight with rear tyre clearance…but you didn’t seem to have issues with that?
@@padraigmoran5710 My Polygon Helios has plenty of clearance. Same with the SL8. Might be tight on the Propel 😭
Is the Tarmac sl8 your favorite bike?

Running these wheels on my Aethos S Works. Immediately, they are faster on the flats. Climbing, , compare very well to my previous set of LB AR35's (1260g)....only one draw back I found with these were on the fast long descends (longest climb is almost 12km at avg 8%) , the wheels are not balanced. Easily fixed with some golf led counter weights.
Thanks for chiming in. Tell me more about these counterweights, and where can I find them.
@@PatrickLino Just use the golf sticky counterweights....typically around 15-17g, stuck on the inside of the rim bed, opposite to the valve stem. it helps to stabilize the wheel on fast descends and higher speeds (> 50kph). I am usually descending at 70-80 kph, and at those speeds the stability from counter weights are noticeable. I believe Oz cycle did an episode on that long time ago
@@chiefrocker12I was looking at these for my Aethos too, but not being balanced seems like a big issue when ur doing 50k+. @patricklino did you notice anything in your testing?
Hi,
Do they fit on your winspace t1500?
@@brianmendoza306 they do not
Very helpful review!
Thanks for watching!
I'm always surprised by the rear wheels shaking the bike so much, mechanically it doesn't make sense. 🤔
@@moriwaki34 Has nothing to do with wheel, and everything to do with the bike not firmly being held on the bike stand. 👍🏾
“No. 6” wheels is a knockoff brand launched in China in 2024 by a former No. 22 Bicycle dealer who blatantly copied our existing No. 6 Composites branding. We ended our relationship with that dealer in January 2024 and they almost immediately knocked off our branding for use on their rebranded (dangerously wide for road use) Farsports wheels.
I’m sure there are better options from more reputable wheel brands available who bring something to the table other than intellectual property theft.
@@brycegracey699 With all due respect, this seems like something you should be sorting out with No6. Rather than putting content creators in the middle. As a consumer, seeing brands air their grievances rather than just focusing on their own brand is bad optics.
Now that's a proper internal width. Light and plush ☁️
When it comes to road surfaces, Chicago is twinned with London.
#Noice
You don't need super wide internal. You need 21mm internal and good amount of external over 30mm to get the most benefit for road cycling. The ratio between the internal and external is the money. Look at Roval Rapide CLX 2, Reserve wheels, Vision wheels. They know something...
Rovals are like $2600 brand new. These No6 wheels are $1000 cheaper. That and Roval customers aren’t cross shopping with these.
Roval customers get all snooty if you spent less than $10K on your bike build 😂
@@borasumerFor speed, yes. But don't underestimate comfort and fatigue when it comes to overall performance. For distance/endurance riding, this could in fact be a bigger factor for both recreational and professional riders, especially on choppy roads.
Note that, if pros want aero, they can just sit in the bubble or behind a team mate. Whereas, over a three week tour, 'slimmer' aero wheels won't help as much to reduce fatigue from road chatter and buzz (or indeed enhance grip).
@@jamescourier1545 SAVAGE!
ermmm... so, this is a hook-less-wheelset right?
@@schbchia hooked
@@PatrickLino thanks 🙏🏻 for the information shared ya... GREAT videos as always...
@@schbchia thanks for the support!
Imagine testing wheels using tubes in 2024. Pathetic
Explain yourself
@PatrickLino every single modern carbon wheelset is designed with tubeless in mind during the R&D process. If you're running it with tubes, you're holding back 20-40% of the wheelset's performance and/or comfort.
Prices are insane for a set of chinese wheels. We thought of chinese brands as saviors of the cycling from Western hegemony, yet they have become a part of it. Sad.
The viewers would benefit greatly if you explained your reasoning. Thanks for watching!
I would agree! I think Chinese wheels are great to give people options when shopping around. They do on average come a little cheaper than mainstream brands and give more price points. I think the key with most eastern wheelsets is they get you more performance for your money, having said that smaller price tags are always nicer! 👌🏾
How so?? What western brand set of wheels are equal or almost equal to these wheels?
Feel free to go and buy yourself the latest Enves for $3000 and see what value you get…
