I received my Elitewheels Aero+ wheelset earlier than expected yesterday, and had the chance to set them up on my Checkpoint this afternoon. These are the 45mm deep, 32mm internal width (!!) wheels that are very similar specs to Zipp XPLR 303 SW.
This is my 3rd set of wheels from Elite, and like the 2 previous sets, they were packed professionally and quality looks excellent. Even spoke tension, true, smooth rolling, even carbon layup, etc.
My 700×50 Specialized Tracers measure just shy of 53mm on these (they were true to size on 25mm internal stock wheels). They weighed 1409g with tubeless tapes and valves installed. Saved about 360g vs stock Bontrager Aeolus 35V carbon wheels.
Hub is LOUD 😆. I’ll get out for a ride on them mid-week and can report back with ride impressions!
