There are a number of factors that can help determine what bike wheels are the best for your riding style – we visited our friends at the Reynolds wheels testing facility to find out more about how carbon wheels are designed and tested! Watch the full video over on our channel now 👀

Thank you GCN.
I really like that GCN showcases and advertises newest technologies, while admitting that often times the gains are in fact marginal and also putting it to the test.
Thus showing that it's nice to have it, but it's not essential. So when we do upgrade our bikes or buy new ones, we don't feel obligated to buy bikes for 5000 £/€/$, but rather know what to pay attention to, to get the best bikes for our budget.
Keep up the great work!
I way 58 kilo and I love to ride with the enve 6.7
Lighter riders would prefer deeper wheels not shallower.
Blah blah blah internal nipples blah blah
80% of aero gains are made up to around 35mm and everything after that is a marginal gain unless you’re a pro or a very quick amateur. I’ve used 50, 45, 42, 40, 38, 35, 33, 32, 31 and 25mm wheels and I honestly don’t see any big difference between them in terms of overall speed as an average cyclist. I prefer shallow rims as they feel more snappy/responsive.
should of bought a recumbent…
With a 50mm wheel, how relevant is the spoke profile, round vs bladed?
Or what % does the spoke profile contribute to the total wheel aerodynamics?
That's one bad ass looking wheel bro. My bike has really big wheels and I kind of wish they didn't. I'm not sure what the effects they have. But it seems like the gears are the opposite of what they should be so high gear feels like first gear and 5th gear feels like first gear. It makes no sense the only thing I can think of is the wheels what are 28 inches tall? Not including the. Tires? I Feel like that makes the gears backwards. I don't like them. I wish it had normal size tires. It makes the bike ungainly and it makes it feel awkward to try to do tricks on to try to jump over stuff to hit obstacles. Could I be wrong? I'm not sure fellow bike riders if you anybody has any info. Please let me know is big wheels a bad thing question. Mark I'm getting old I'm 44 years old. I just started riding again about 2 months ago. Maybe? It's just me maybe I'm just a out of shape slab. I don't know maybe I'm an old head. That's bitching about nothing.
Internal Nippels? So a 20s job of retensioning a spoke turns into a 15 min job.
35’s on my gravel bike and 50’s on my road bike.
Internal nipples sounds like a faff if your wheel needs truing. Assume you have to remove the tyre for it?
Mega micro BS.
