SDM SPOKE

Quick shipment after purchase, great price. This is my third set of blade x wheels and all have exceeded expectations!
I bought Carbon wheels with ceramic bearings, check them last Sunday. Certainly, they done well as descriprtion, lightweight but stiff. Excellent product and seller!
I have had only 3 rides on them so far but to this point have noticed they roll well, have no noticeable flex and behave very well in light winds. With only 150km's on them so far its not a comprehensive test but I am very happy with the product so far. I am 85kg's and ride undulating terrain. Not a lot of hills right now and never mountains. This is my second pair of BladeX wheels. My first pair , the 2X2, have been reliable, quick and strong. Communication has been very responsive too which is a nice change when dealing with overseas suppliers of components.
Very high quality product & very impressive delivery time
Purchased wheels March 2015.Wheels were well packaged.Have ridden approximately 1000 km on them and must say i am very impressed. .Good quality wheels that run very true and smooth, a highly recommended quality product.
