Picked this Cervelo up for an insane price but it was neglected and disgusting. Paint is actually in pretty good shape, no chipping like I've seen in newer Giants.Farsports/Wheelsfar Hyper RD270 58mm Wheelset Freehub Sound after 300kmWhatTheFlip2024-10-05 | This wheelset was extremely quiet when compared to my DT SWISS ARC 1400 wheelset with DT 240 hubs. Both are 36T.
After 300km or so, it got noticeably louder but still no where near the DT Swiss. I will remove factory grease and apply thinner grease to compare in the near future.
LOVING THIS WHEELSET SO FAR!
Bike: Custom lightweight build Canyon Aeroad @ 6.95kgFarsports (Wheelsfar) Hyper Wheels with RD270 Hub, Sound check!WhatTheFlip2024-09-11 | Quick video to show the finish on the Farsports/Wheelsfar Hyper wheelset with RD270 hub + Carbon spokes. I was not sponsored by them.
Customer service while ordering was amazing, they included some goodies that I asked about that I would have paid extra for.
As far as I can tell, the build quality (or QC) is slightly better than the Elitewheels DRIVE series that I've owned multiple sets of.

Camera was on the wrong zoom and I installed these tires BACKWARDS by accident... DON'T WORRY, I reinstalled it correctly right after the video. Took ~4mins to reinstall as I had all the tubeless sealant already inside and the slippery sealant made the install much harder due to lack of grip/friction. Comparing these to GP5000 + tubes, these tires are ~30% stiffer to install.
Best of all? Normal $30 tire pump and a bit more strength/speed worked flawlessly.
Quick review after 300km: Swapping from a Hollowgram 64 SL wheelset with GP5000 TL tires to these DRIVE 65D wheelset + GP5000 TT made an enormous difference in both weight, speed and comfort. Tires alone saved ~250g, wheels saved another ~300g. At this rate, I'm never going back to tubes. I previously had GP5000 with Tubolito S-Tubo tires, the comfort difference due to lower PSI is insane.Free Dream Bike!? My 2021 Cannondale SystemSix, Elitewheels Drive 65D + Hub soundWhatTheFlip2023-08-23 | How did I get this bike essentially for free? Started with a budget of $400, continued to buy/sell/upgrade my bikes as I rode them. 2 years later, after 100 bikes, and maybe 20 hours of "side hustle" (sitting at the computer or driving to pick up a bike), here we are: dream bike and a ton of cash in my pocket enough for a mortgage downpayment.
I'll post videos explaining how I did it, prices paid/sold for, what to/to not look for and etc. I've been buying/selling things my whole life to reduce expenses and usually end up profiting. Perhaps it's time to spread the knowledge. I'm a newbie at video editing so be patient!
