Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

SuperiorLite Wheels?

Hey everyone, I know I probably should have asked this first (before buying the wheels) with my experience now in riding, but I was wondering if any of you had any experience on SL Race Wheels or any SuperiorLite Products in general?

I just purchased a set of the SL Race Wheelset for cheap enough that I was willing to take the chances as my previous experience with inexpensive hand built wheels has been fantastic.

At less than 1540 grams for the wheelset (not including the skewers) and ezo hubs being hand built and coming with aerospokes, I figured it is worth the shot.

Anybody have a set or know of any experience with them? If not, I'll report back in a week when I have them and let you know how it goes with some better pictures.



And no, I did not buy any red tires for them.

Bikes: breezer venturi - red novo bosberg - red, pedal force cg1 - red, neuvation f-100 - da, devinci phantom - xt, miele piste - miche/campy, bianchi reparto corse sbx, concorde squadra tsx - da, miele team issue sl - ultegra

looks like an ordinary kinlin or jalco rim mated to a novatec hub.

Yeah. Total weight was less than 1550 grams w/o the skewers. So they spec'd out pretty light. I'll keep you guys posted.

Got them today! They came much faster than anticipated, I think because they were shipped from only 2 hours away. Also a nice bonus is they came with the hubs from the SL Pro wheelset in Red, which makes for a much nicer looking wheel in my opinion. So far I am incredibly impressed with how light these wheels are and how nice they look. I guess the next step is to mount tubes and tires and test them out.

I'll post updates on the bike whenever there is a nice enough day to use them. At this point, I am still planning on keeping them for events and races, and using the Fuzion F1's as my training wheels. But Who know, I may put them on as my daily rollers and eventually upgrade automatically moving the F1's to the Giant.

Finally got around to taking a picture with them mounted on to the bike sporting Forte Pro+ rubber.
