Having ridden quite a few different carbon wheels, what really stands out with these is the excellent balance between responsiveness and comfort. They feel fast when you push on, but never harsh over long distances. The freehub is also pleasantly restrained, which is a big plus for me as overly loud hubs have been a real bugbear on other wheelsets I’ve owned.
I’m running P ZERO Race TLR 30mm tyres, which complement the wheels perfectly, noticeably improving both performance and ride smoothness. I also love the subtle design, they look and feel premium.
On top of that, Tom is a great bloke and offers genuinely excellent aftercare. I’d definitely choose these over a bigger brand, the quality is clearly, and you simply can’t match the personal touch you get with VeloElite.
I’m a huge fan and will definitely be a returning customer.

Handbuilt Wheels in the UK
All of our wheels are hand built in the UK by our master wheel builders. Wheel building is not just about lacing a wheel together.

What makes our carbon wheels better?
Braking: Our rims use a 3k twill braking track. It takes extensive research and testing to source rims which can with-stand all you can throw at them. Our super strong and durable rims have been tested under braking up to 255degrees c. We include a complete set of carbon brake pads with all our carbon bike wheels.
Tubeless ready: All of our rims are tubeless ready. Fast becoming the racers choice due to puncture protection and low rolling resistance.
Double ended nipples: This ensures wheel truing can be carried out without the removal of tubular and tubeless tyres. We achieve this with the use of fantastic quality Sapim double ended nipples.
Nipple washers: During the wheel building process we install nipple washers.This allows for optimum spoke tension ensuring a super stiff wheel, and reduces friction increasing strength at the rim-nipple interface. You can’t skip these in an attempt to save weight
