Elite Wheels Drive Helix 57D, Valve Support/Issue & Remedy | RobbArmstrong

could you show us more detail on that part? where the rim and the side of the tyre, if its pretty smooth or is it still have that kind of light bulbs form thing with that tyre. what tyre size do you have by the way? is that 31mm? thanks ✌

Best tip i can give. Dont go tubeless. Too much of a hassle, the little benefits dont weigh up. tpu is the way to go for me. What kind of sealant do you use? The SILCA sealant is not adviced to fill with the valves.

What about the comfort on these? I wonder whether carbon spokes are really that harsh to ride

would´you recomend buying these wheels or get som more popular wheels

Back again! Have you taken them downhill yet? Remember we were talking about the hub. Also, how do you like the micro hook on the rims?

Im no stranger to Chinese made wheels (I've owned no less than 3 sets I reckon). Most I've spent so far was $750 when Covid just started which was on the pricier end back then. Didn't expect much but they've been bullet proof I've had thoughts on buying the more pricier ones, notably Elite 50Ds or Craft Racing Works 4045s. What I noticed is that these companies are STILL experiencing growing pains to the tune of engineering and QC. Not only limited to wheelsets but I've seen cranksets with the Incolor Skypivot I like industry shakers but these Chinese companies have to do better. I know they aren't as big as the usual suspects but if the intent is to give consumers a better option at a lesser price point they'd better up the ante especially on QC. Painful to see updates after updates especially for early adopters like you - they're left with literally a prototype until they've fixed every issue I suspect Elite just increased the weight on their website as the moulds have been created and costly to re-do
