Sorry for the stickers, they've come off since!
Got a second set of wheels to easily switch between road and gravel, super happy with the results (so far).
I also appreciate that the Cues parts are so cheap, extra cassette and brake discs were like €40 in total.
Only sketchy bit was rim tape installation as I had never done this before, feel like there's still some small creases/folds but first two rides were fine and since I don't run tubeless I hope it won't be a problem, but I'm a bit paranoid haha (any experiences with this?) –
Anyway the wheels (Elite Wheels Ent 2.0) came at such a low price that I'm positively surprised at the feel and look now. Installing the GP5000 tires also wasn't too bad, I've basically got the real Youtube x AliExpress build now haha.
Enjoy the Spring everyone! 🌤️

How deep is that wheel? 50mm?
Looks good. How did you choose to go with Ent 2.0 vs other of their options?
I have the same wheels on my endurace, along with a set of Hunt 40mm.
I usually use the hunt wheels (little bit lighter, quieter hub, in my opinion, a better look with my bike, and a little more piece of mind with a more reputable brand when going 45mph down a hill), but the elite wheels have been shockingly good. I probably have 1200 miles on them or so with no issues. Inspected bearings over this past winter and they looked brand new. No water or dirt made it past the seals.
Unless you are competitively racing, or super into hill climbing and need the lightest build possible, it’s really hard to recommend most western wheel brands.
Bike looks great! I love the black fork contrast on the all roads.
