Excellent Upgrade

5

Great Wheel upgrade. The price was absolutely unbeatable. The wheels arrived very true, and have remained that way after about 150 miles so far. The claimed weight is accurate according to my scale, and the rear wheel hub is quiet, which I found to be surprising. The appearance, I would say is very high end, yet understated. The ultegra logo looks nice, without bright colors burning your retinas to make sure you know who made it. The only negative point, is the weight of the skewers (58/63g according to my scale)...not that I am all that critical about the weight of everything, and the function is excellent, but for something bearing the ultegra logo, it would be nice to see this improved. If saving weight is in you list of criteria for this wheel upgrade, you can easily save some there.

Awesome wheel set

5

I've been a recreational rider for 30 yrs. I've been riding Mavic Elites for 4+ yrs. These Ultegra wheels are responsible for a 1/2 - 3/4 of a mile/hr faster. Smooth and very rigid. Loves these wheels. Only negative is it is very difficult to put tires on.

The very lowest price on this set of wheels that I could find anywhere. They arrived much more quickly than I would have thought possible and they were in perfect condition.I couldn't be more pleased.

Good for ROAD tubeless

4

Great wheelset for the price. I bought to run tubeless for cyclocross. With 3 wraps of stan's yellow tape i got panaracer crossblaster tires to seal up just fine. I rode them at 30 psi without any noticeable burps or air loss, have not raced on them yet though. The stan's rubber rim strip might provide a better seal but i have not tried that. I could push the tire bead off the rim easily but no air would escape. I also ride stan's alpha 340 wheelset and I cannot push the tire bead off that rim at all. I weigh 165 lbs. for reference. The only negative for this wheelset is that the supplied valves do not have removable cores for adding sealant or inflating tubeless. If you really want to go tubeless for cx I would get a stan's alpha wheelset, this ultegra wheelset is a road tubeless design.

6800 Ultegra Wheelset

So far I'm well satisfied with my purchase of this wheelset. Though they're a little on the heavy side they feel light, especially going uphill. Fit and finish is as with all Shimano products "TOP Notch". I was a little hesitant when ordering considering I'm from Canada however wheelset was well packaged and arrived without any damage, still true when I put them on the truing stand upon arrival. At sale price and this quality I would definitely recommend to a friend, can not go wrong.

Shimano wheelset

I purchased this wheelset as an upgrade to the Aksium wheels that came with my Giant TCR. I am a big guy, weighing 195 lbs, and I had some issues with occasional broken spokes on the Aksiums. At the time of this writing I have a couple hundred miles on the Ultegra set, and am very happy with them. Very smooth rolling, and no indication I will have spoke issues, and no indication of them losing their trueness. I would buy them again.

Ultegra Upgrade

Replaced my Shimano 501 wheels with Ultegra 6800, added on an Ultegra cassette. Nice clean shifts (better than the 4600 that came with my bike) and a bit of increase in speed on hills (both up and down!). Good quality, awesome sale price!
