Best Rim Brake Wheels you can get today !
I have been looking for a long time for a pair of rim brake carbon wheels that are light weight, and good quality & affordable. Since mayor corporations are pushing everyone even pro riders to use disk brake nowadays, this task wasn't easy. Used wheelsets are an option, but there is always the warranty & quality factor, you dont know how much of their usage history. Elite are obviously not the only ones offering this rim brake option. But the "other", companies rather than selling rim brakes, right now. They seem more like that they are "getting rid off" their stock, so obviously That does not look like I will get support in the near future from them, and alsothey only offer 2 year warranty. So I rather stick to elite, that are currently handling rim brakes, & get 3 years warranty, even recently they released a new model, and I can also get parts in case I need to replace them for the wheelset. Also they have the lightest models in the market, that you can get without having to break your savings. (search for it) They also offer shipping to Mexico, which is also a great plus, some other brands do not send to MX, I asked them via email & chat. (just be aware of the "hidden fees" that UPS charges you; I dont mind paying regular taxes, but UPS "extra" charges are horrendous, plus they scratched the packaging =(, that is the only unpleasent thing I experience during the whole process.) So that is 1 side of the equation. The chat customer service is awesome, I had like 3 long conversations, with different persons, and all of them were very attentive, and answered all my questions, even about "specifications", about the wheels, the carbon spokes sizes, shipping details, next releases, etc. They even shared with me pictures, to solve my doubts, and you get in you email, the whole conversation, so you can check it back later if you want. They also reply to your emails, in case you don't want to use the chat. So I am pretty satisfied with the choice I made, If you are reading, I hope it helps you out. I am grateful that Elite is still offering Rim brakes today. Atte. Richard S.
