Elite Wheels Edge 50mm Carbon Disc Road Wheelset Unboxing: Hub Sound, Weight vs Drive G45

An unboxing and comparison of the Elite Wheels Edge 50 (sold on Aliexpress.com) to my existing Elite Wheels Drive G45 wheelset (sold directly from elite-wheels.com website). *Technical correction: The hub design is generic and should not be confused with the double-ratchet hub on their Drive Helix line of wheelsets.*
$600 Edge 50 Wheelset Weight (without tubeless valves and tape): 1375 grams
$900 Drive G45 Wheelset Weight (with tubeless valves and tape): 1415 grams

Hub is a standard DT Swiss ratchet design hub, the patent has expired a while ago so a lot of companies have started using their in-house hubs with this design.

Thank you, sir. I was confused by the Drive Helix patent fight they are having. It uses a double-sided ratcheting system to provide a three-degree angle of engagement through a 120-tooth ratcheting system. I don't smoke crack pipe, however...

@@TheGizmoGarage Sorry, I meant the other guy, who had that crazy conspiracy theory

[@TheGizmoGarage]

@@dainiusvysniauskas2049 hahaha no worries! Thanks for your insight on hub design!

[@delepole]

its not. EliteWHeels hub uses one spring only. It's kind of hybrid between DT classic ratchet and EXP

Funny how all the cycling frame and wheel reviews come out at the same time. Almost as if the company is requesting for customers to do the reviews.
Or reviewers get their ideas from other reviewers.

I know, right? Except no one paid me 😂

Yeah, it's time you put down the crack pipe
