Superteam 38mm Carbon Road Wheelset 23mm Width Clincher Wheel with Basalt Braking Surface

Put these on my 10 year old Tarmac. I’d been running an old set of Zipp 404 tubulars but wanted to run a more economical set of everyday wheels. Initial impression was great well packaged wheels look like a much pricier pair of wheels. My Zipp 404’s were a whopping $2,400 when new yet these $360 wheels are comparable. Zipps are much lighter but that’s to be expected comparing tubulars to clinchers. Mounted a new set of Continental tires with no issues. Also a new Ultegra 10 speed cassette. I used Kool Tool tire jack for the install and it works beautifully. Only been out for one quick 30 mile spin thus far but the very first thing I noticed was the outstanding braking performance. I used the Enve carbon pads that were already on my bike not the set of pads that comes with the wheels. Braking was powerful and silent. Much much better braking than I get with my Zipps using the same pads. Obviously only time will tell just how good these wheels are put I’m very happy with my initial impressions. I’ve put about 1k miles on these so far and have zero regrets. Fantastic value. This is an update as of 2/4/2022. Now about 2,000 miles on these wheels and my opinion has not changed. Amazing value for the money spent.

Well packaged, true and round out of the box, came with skewers, extra spokes and carbon- specific brake pads. Mounted tires without the wrestling match I’ve had with some wheels in the past.I’ve ridden about 150 miles so far on the new wheels, still true and round, and the braking performance is very good (I have not yet ridden in wet conditions). I’m the wheels are stiff and responsive, and are an unbeatable value so far!

This will be the second set of rims I've purchased from the seller. For the most part I'm happy with them. They came packaged well. Damage shouldn't be an issue. Mine came with everything except the extra spokes. But having ordered before I have a set laying around somewhere.My bike is a 2010 Specialized Tarmac Pro. This was once a 5500.00$ bike. So I don't want to put on just any junk. The rims they replaced were a worn set of Mavics. Price to replace those was just over a 1000.00. Having previously owned a set of rims from these guys I decided to go the savings route this time.I like the look of the rims with the decal.They look good on my bike. But if I was doing the selection over again I would have went without to save the weight.As I mentioned in my other review. I gained about 2 to 3 mph during normal ridding and have had them over 50mph on down hill runs. At the time of this review I have about 3000m on them without many issues.The R13 hub is decent and the same hubs as the last set I bought. I have had issues with the rear rim hub. The bolt that holds the free wheel mech in place came loose. I noticed it during a weekly servicing removal of the cassette. But was easily fixed with some thread locker.The rear rim has crossed spokes on only one side of the rim. I didn't notice this on my other set or during purchase. Not sure why its that way. Ideally it should be crossed on both sides to combat rim flex. Speaking of rim flex these do. However only on hard out of the saddle sprinting. I was able to adjust the brakes to make the rub almost not noticeable. The front rim spokes are not crossed at all. so I try to not put to much weight over the front when sprinting because of this.I'm not sure why tires are difficult to get on these. But they are. I've had the same issue with both sets I've owned. I now use a spray bottle with a lite mix of soap and water sprayed on prior to tire install.I just replaced the included Super Team brake pads two days ago. I decide to go with Shimanos pads for carbon rims this time. Wile the Super Team pads don't squeak and work ok. I wanted to see if brand name will work better. And they do.For a beginner set of carbon rims it's hard to find a lot of falt in these. I would recommend them to those of us looking to save some money. They don't suck.But I can tell the quality difference between these and my Mavics. But for now these work well and at only a fraction of "name brand" pricing. I would recommend these for lower end carbon or aluminum bikes.But those used to high end quality will find these lacking that feel.3/20 UPDATE: Just over 11,000 miles on this set. They are still straight and true. They've made it through 2 of my bikes. They are now on my Specialized Venge and work well with it. The ONLY issue i've had is the rear hub loosening every now and then. Easy fix, just pay attention to your gears. If they start randomly changing, the hub is loose. Other than that no other issues. My next set I'm going to leave off the decal to save the weight. Great price, good product.

I was very impressed from the start. Starting from the packaging. Each wheel came covered with the styrofoam bags and protectors on each hub. Both wheels on dividers inside. I did not expect that from “Chinese” wheels.They look amazing. Came with brake pads as well.I mounted my gator skin tires and rode about 20 miles. Feel great. The hub is nice and loud. Sounds fantastic. I’m very very impressed with the wheels.I have not measured the time,if there is a benefit or not. I’m not a competitive rider. I could care less, I was looking for the look, I’m sure there’s a benefit of having these wheels, seen so may videos on CF wheels. I wanted CF wheels without breaking the bank and these are by far the best way to go!Hiiiiighly recommend. They also came with extra spokes.

Wheels appear to be of good quality, mechanic said they are a good value for entry level carbon wheels. I've put about 100 miles on them and have noticed the performance improvement, definitely worth trying out!UPDATE:I have now put about 600 miles on these wheels and I am very impressed. They are noticeably lighter, especially when spinning up quickly and also going up hill. Braking performance is slightly lower than my old aluminum rims but not a big deal at all. For the price it is a significant performance improvement compared to other bike upgrades. The biggest surprise is that my cruising speed has increased by 1-2 mph, and my typical top speed has increased by 3-4 mph. Highly recommend!

I have owned two sets of Reynolds carbon wheels and this purchase replaced a 40 mm (R4) wheel set. I had paid $800+ for the Reynolds R4 wheel set on an end of season sale. This set was less than half that sale price and had all the same features. I have about 600 miles on the set and am quite happy with the wheels. They have aero spokes and came with a set of brake pads for carbon wheels. I typically ride 5000 miles a year.

These wheels look great and ride great. Sorry to say the rear hub on my set start making noise after 200 mile of riding. I sent a request to Superteam though Amazon for a RMA to repair or replace and received no response. I then contacted Amazon Customer Support and was only able to get a UPS return tag which cost me $20 for a box.
