Roval Rapide CLX II for the new build

[tarpontime]

You’re gonna love those wheels. I put them on my SL7 earlier in the year and they’re fantastic. I did go with 28 s work turbos on them and that thing flies now.

This build should be pretty wicked. Keep the videos coming.

Never ridden the clx2’s only the clx40’s on tarmacs, which is old news of course. Switched over to Enve long time ago, now I ride 4.5’s on a sw SL7 which are great. Curious to know what your experience will be with the new build/roval combo.

well you are a big guy so probably a good idea to go with the tried and tested brands,

Update to my question to you yesterday. Ended up getting a sweet deal on a set of the CLX 2s. Not sure how you beat the specs especially when $1, 800 on sale.

I agree with you on the chinese carbon. They are so damn light compared to Western wheels, and there's gotta be something stopping Western brands from pushing for super light wheels. And I genuinely believe that it is the performance. Light doesn't mean best performing wheel whatsoever. It is hard to make a wheel stiff as it needs to be when you cut so much material to make it as light as possible. 60mm deep wheelset under 1200g? That is crazy to me.
Also, they are not going for cheap either. Panda Podium CRW set was $1700 last time I checked. I just bought a set of CLX 2 for $1750 on sale. So I don't see the appeal for a wheelset that you have no warranty for, no scientific data for its performance or proven performance and reliability in any big events, etc.

I had three sets of wheels (DT SWISS, Roval and Hyper D45) and I can attest to that Roval is more stable than Hyper even though Roval is a deeper wheel set and I use it a lot on flats. climbing I just go ba

I couldn’t understand why so many YouTubers are recommended hyper and honestly now that I have tried these wheels i will stick to the more reputable brands.. anyway the new wheels set from china made like hyper and farsports are too ridiculously expensive and there no value proposition considering warranty and crash replacement policy.

What size tires are these in the video? 28 mm or 30 mm?
