Elite Wheels Ali Express

I'm in the process of getting components assembled for a new wheel build, carbon rims. I did look at elite wheels but a couple of issues stuck for me - customer service is a bit weak but there don't appear to be any issues with quality.

Probably going to get the rims from Carbonal (carbonal.net) but they do full wheels as well - you're looking at closer to £700 though. The 5 year warranty was what made me opt for them and they offer shipping which includes all taxes (this is about £50).

I love that the recommendation is literally just an OEM Chinese wheel with a knock off Zipp name...

Nothing wrong with Zed, they have been around a while, but be under no illusions that what you are getting is a generic Chinese made rim, hub and pillar spokes (same for a lot of shops own brand wheels like Vel or Prime etc.). You are basically paying twice as much as one of the bigger Chinese brands on AliExpress like Elitewheels, Superteam or Ryet so you get faster delivery and a warranty. And often you'll be getting an inferior product, because those brands update their products very regularly, whereas UK importers/ rebranders will be sitting on old stock (although TBF Zed seems to at least be on 21mm internal width).
