50mm Carbon Fiber Track Wheel Matte Finish 3K Fixed Gear Wheelset with Cog

NOTE: I've only ridden these for one day! Will update with before and after photos soon.I ride a cheapo single speed with a 52/17 gear ratio as my daily driver for commuting and recreational riding. I put down between 50 miles minimum and 85+ miles max on days I ride. (If I had the time in the day to pull centuries more often I would.)I I had some aftermarket cheap aluminum rims from Weinmann, and decided I peaked in strength on those wheels and wanted something to make me a little faster. I looked at the Superteam wheels but cancelled my purchase after deciding that an 88mm rim depth probably isn't the best idea for crosswinds. These Queen wheels are 40mm I think, and they still look just as sick.They make that wooshy sound when you pedal that carbon is known for. The freehub spin wasn't that loud to me, if that's something you care for, you can change it by buying your own hub.The wheels are light, as a matter of fact, when they arrived I thought the package was empty.It took me a few miles to notice where I was improving with these wheels compared to the aluminum ones, so I'm going to list the pros below:- Your acceleration speed will increase, given I run 52/17 it takes me maybe 4-5 seconds to get up to 15mph, with these, I cut that down to 2 seconds.- When you hit your "base" pedaling speed, it feels MUCH better. The wheels just keep rolling without any feelings of resistance. I'm not sure how to put it into words. It's like the wheels and your legs are speaking the same language while communicating. With aluminum, it felt like the wheels were speaking a different language, and I could only understand them when using a translator. Best way I can put it lol.- Hills are easier to climb. There's 2 more hills in my city that I need to test out with these tires before I turn this from a 5/5 to a 6/5. You're not gonna fly up steep hills like you would on flat ground, but again, if you put in the leg effort, the wheels will absolutely match what you give it.- This this eats headwinds and schitts them back out the other end. I was concerned about crosswinds but didn't feel anything sketch. For reference the wind was about 10-12mph in some spots the day I rode these and I don't ride it anything above 20 for safety.- Cornering feels amazing. The way you can sprint out of corners in these feels so good. It shocked me the first time I did it. The wheels are just sooooo responsive.- Factor in all the of the above and you will ride your bike for longer than normal, more comfort means you get tired slower. Anything that makes you ride your bike further is worth the purchase.Now for the CONS (not really):Obviously carbon and rim brakes have a complicated relationship. I haven't had any sketchy moments with braking with these, they honestly respond pretty similar to my aluminum rims, I'm just not sure how long I'm supposed to hold the brakes before I start causing damage. I never hold the brakes for more than 2.5 secs before releasing and squeezing again. That brings me to a stop pretty fast. The fastest descent I did so far with these was about 33mph. The fastest one I can do here is about 48mph. I haven't done it yet but I'll report back on how the brakes feel during that.I guess the one con is you have to be a little more mindful if you're speeding and about to approach an intersection that has a red light. You have to start slowing down earlier especially if you're going downhill. That's what I do anyways. I'm going to respect the rim and it'll respect me back. I don't want to be the guy dragging his brake and messing the wheel up. Anyways, 10/10 so far and I'll purchase another pair for a disc brake bike when I get one.

It’s not easy finding 50mm carbon wheels for a single speed bicycle. I certainly didn’t want to pay thousands for wheels to put on a bike that cost $600. Fortunately I came across these and they turned out to be everything I could ask for and every bit as nice as I hoped for. They are super light weight. True. The hubs spin nicely. I can’t find a single thing to say that isn’t positive. These are great wheels and I’m extremely happy that I bought them.

Would've been better if these came ready for quick release. OEM hubs are quite heavy,

These wheels a great for a casual rider who wants to reduce weight on their bike. I've been riding these almost a year and have had no issues. They are pretty light but not is light as a zipp or other high-end manufacturers. From skids to bunny hops up and down curbs, they are pretty durable with me weighing 195 at 6'5". Also I believe they are superteam wheels without branding and has the same novatech hubs. Will buy again.

Came on time and true out of the box with 2 sets of brake pads and extra spokes. After nearly 3 months of a lot of riding the rims are staying true and perform well. Braking response is decent for a carbon rim brake surface, and that's saying a lot considering I only use a front brake for my fixed gear bike. I like the internal width of 23 mm as well because 25mm Conti GPX 5000's shape nicely mounted on these aero rims. Highly recommended.

You can’t beat the price on these wheels. Solid construction, light weight, softer ride and hubs that spin like crazy. I bought them and then 3 of my buddies bought them and 2 more are considering buying them too.

Have only used these for actual track riding so far, but very impressed for the price point after my first day of testing. I'm typically somewhat particular with parts (have a number of road/gravel/MTB bikes with Enve/Zipp/other high end wheelsets) but I don't feel like these will hold me back whatsoever for lower-level track racing. Hubs spin extremely smooth and the quality looks to be very good so far. Hopefully they'll hold up well over time but wouldn't hesitate to try for a semi-budget friendly track bike build!

They look great and ride great. A definite upgrade on my single speed.
