FARSPORTS DISC CARBON WHEELSET Test & Review

[tiz92]

I ordered a set of 45mm deep 26 wide (front) and 28 mm wide (rear) Hyper rims with their own rd270 hub and carbon spokes. Should be 1220 gramms. Lets see how they are.

I have just ordered a pair of Hyper 30mm deep, 30mm wide (24mm internal) hooked, with RD230 hubs - depending on tolerance of rim should be about 1085g. I already have the 50mm and fancied something a bit different. Have asked for the lightest rims they can find as I need to save the grams to duck under 6kg on my synapse!

I placed order of hyper 50mm deep 30 wide, hookless with carbon spokes and RD270 hubs. Will arrive within approx 2 weeks.
Weight will be 1250-ish grams.+ rim tape/valves.

Wil be used on my S-Works Tarmac SL7.

Wow that seems fast!
I ordered my Hyper wheels end of June and it took 3 weeks for manufacturing. The production lead-time was as farsports communicated it in advance. The wheels were shipped two weeks ago with the prepaid duty service to Europe. Hope they arrive in 1-2 weeks.

These should arrive in the next days. Very stoked. Foto is from Farsports before shipping.

Is there anyone with experience on the carbon spokes based wheels from Farsports?

No not yet. I can post a small review once they arrive. But Farsports produces carbon spokes already for a relatively long time for their "expensive" Far lineup so i think they know what they do.

i have ridden, a pair of the feder 25 with carbonspokes from the same manufacturer they use for their new spokes (i helped them find it) they were really nice and had nothing flawed.

so my i ordered a pair of the hyper 35 (wanted a bit deeper) with the new carbon spokes and rd270 hub for myself.
and a set of the 58mm hyper with rd270 and carbon spokes for my friend.

newer had any bad experience with the service from farsport

[mrlobber]

RD270? Is that an update on RD230?
Also, mathias720, could you post detailed specs on the wheels when they arrive?

What's your impression on the hubs, spokes and rim?
How they perform?

Would it be safe to run 25c GP5K on Hyper rims with 30mm external and 24mm internal? Currently running 25c(tubed) on 23int/30ext AR56 LB wheels

I'd not ride that. internal width +4mm as a guideline.

As a testament to the strength of the Farsports rims: i just ran a gravel(rear)wheel (32-36 hooked rim) straight into a screw at >30km/h (with my commuter bike so system weight close to 100kg i'd say). Loud bang but absolutely no damage to the rim-bed other than a tiny-tiny-tiny dent.

Btw, can't see any of this possible anywhere on wheelsfar. Carbon spoke section contains only Extralite hub option while the Hyper series have all but Farsports own hubs. How did you get to have those combos available? Direct message/email?
