at last … a quite freehub.
I bought the 500€ 33mm carbon wheelset ProX, Chinese manufacturer. Until now no complains only on the free hub has a very basic flow. But Comparing with does 1390€? Make sense the price/quality?
I keep forgetting. What are the advantages of a hookless rim?
corima fumbeled it with their new hookless wheels
Ni Chinese stuff on this site? how about the Farsport wheels and other wheels from China you have featured on this site? nothing against good quality Chinese made products but is comical when make a statement like that and then you compare the Corima with the benchmark Farsports, see where i am going with this? i am a big supporter and like what you been doing to build the channel but please keep it real , thank you for the video
What is the internal width? what are their recommendation for tires being hookless? would you recommend for road? Thank you
Didn’t you recently have several rants about hookless rims along the lines of “you’d never ride them” “they should be banned” etc etc. Are these hookless rims some way better than Zipp, Enve, Giant?
Didn’t you also get your knickers in a twist about pressures. No such stress here then? You mention an 80kg rider being at max pressure. Does this mean anyone over 80kg (not exactly a fat bastard) would be over the max?
A few weeks ago you thought hookless wheels were the devil’s work. Somebody sends you a free pair and all of a sudden they’re the greatest thing since sliced bread. Embarrassing. Laughable.
Hmmm, with so many established brands. DT Swiss, Hunt etc, I think it's difficult for a new brand to become established. I personally, would opt for a more well known brand. Maybe I'm wrong. Seems like a solid wheelset though.
French Quality – is that a pro or con?
Your video is exceptionally engaging! — "Success thrives on unwavering dedication."
These are hookless wheels so no thanks
They were doing so well, then you said hookless and that’s ruined them. Won’t even consider them now.
Would like to see the comparison to cadex 50 ultra wheels about stiffness 😉
For this price I would be unhappy with the pinholes on the rim’s surface.
Can’t wait to see what you think of there top of the range wheels from corima with the carbon spokes.
Great review. I've often wondered about these but following bad experiences with Mavics, I have just avoided them for no other reason than they're French. Daft I know. Anyway, in for a penny, in for a pound, I'm going to bite the bullet and get a set for my next build. Wish you were closer to Bath!
Mavoc also makes theirs in France. The higher end of their wheels are quite premium for a decent price, a cut above my Chinese wheels.
Twin spoke setup looks sweet! Throwback to the old Race Lites. They look beautiful. Is the freehub silent? Now all they have to do is add hooks and they would be perfect.
What are the pros and cons of hookless rims?
Used the Essentia on Paris Roubaix challenge, tubeless with Victoria Corsa controls, superb. Excellent consumer service – need a uk distributer though.
Just take my money!
Lost me at hookless
Ça fait plaisir tant de compliments pour une petite boîte française ! Banzaï !
