60mm Elemental X wheelset

I've had the 60mm Elemental X wheels now for about a week and WOW!! These wheels are superb! I've owned wheels from Zipp, DT Swiss, Reynolds, Profile Design, and Orr Cycling. None of those brands left me feeling SO impressed after literally EVERY ride!

I have just shy of 200 miles with them on my TT bike and have thrown everything I can at them: Time Trials, hilly rides, sprints, windy days, steady training miles, and they outperform all of my expectations. Comparing data from previous rides, my avg MPH is higher on every route I normally ride. The numbers don't lie. I'm probably the most impressed at how stable they are and how well they hold speed. They spin up quickly and even seem to thrust forward after letting off the power. It was a weird sensation at first and I found myself braking harder than usual because of the speed I was carrying into turns.

In addition, the shipment arrived faster than expected and was packaged very securely. Peter was quick to respond and very helpful. I'm so happy with these wheels that I just ordered another set for my road bike!

The wheels are amazing

The wheels are amazing. I got the cloud32 wheels and I am 3min faster on average on a hour ride with less effort. but shipping took just over a month so that sucked.

Special order 650c Carbon Wheels Rim Brake

We were on the hunt for a set of 650c * 23mm carbon rim brake wheels to upgrade an older Cervelo P3. As you can imagine, 650c wheels are extremely difficult to obtain these days. Pete is passionate about triathlon and cycling and knew the make and model of the bike intimately. He is a wealth of knowledge and assured me that the slightly wider rims would fit the frame with some minor brake caliper adjustment. His advice was spot on. Even with being a special order, the wheels arrived much earlier than expected. They look fantastic, spin brilliantly and have transformed the look, speed and feel of the bike. All in all a great product and fantastic service. Highly recommend the Wheelscience wheelset.

Performance Booster Wheels

I had a LBS build up a warranty Cannondale frame with a pair of wheels from Wheelscience. They wanted to install a pair of ENVE carbon wheels costing twice as much and were heavier. I insisted on using the Wheelscience Everest XL wheels and am happy that I did.
I have been using them for 6 months now and I cant believe the difference in my performance (on the hills especially.)
When I feel I don't have any energy left, I can push on the pedals and the wheels accelerate.
The aero design has made me considerably faster on the downhills as well.
The wide internal rim width has allowed me to run 28mm tires on the road and 35mm tires on gravel. I have hit a few jarring pot holes on descents and thought the wheels must be damaged, but they held well, no damage, still very true and with 28mm tires, no flats.
I subsequently bought a pair of Everest 1 wheels for my wife's road bike and she loves them.
Peter and Wheelscience are the real deal.

Peter was great in helping choose the right wheel and quickly answered my questions confirming the correct configuration.
Bought a set of the Everest XL and set them up tubeless on Pirelli TLR tires. They were super easy to mount and sealed no problem on the rims.
Been riding on the wheels for about 500 km now and they perform great. It is windy here so the lower front wheel rim depth is helpful in the cross wind compared to my previous deep section wheels.
The wheels have the stock hubs and I see no lose in performance over my previous wheel set.

Simply the best wheels available.

Peter at Wheelscience gave me excellent advice on some new wheels for a custom build, using the Everest X55. This is my second set of Wheelscience wheels and theyre just simply the best wheels on the market for quality, speed and price.

I brought a the elemnetal 60,88 disk for triathlon wanting an affordable way to move from Bontrager Tubuler wheels to a tubeless set up. I go them a week before a big race and sure was a pain chasing them up with the company concerned that they would not come in time. However was surprised by how good these wheels felt. With the Kiwi decals on them they look awesome but on the road they feel amazing super fast and rigid handle well pushing through the corners in the early stages of the bike were I made up time. On the flat roads in the course rolls well holding speed nice and easy. Would have no problems recommending them to friends

Great wheels, give yourself time for shipping

Just recieved the wheels a few weeks ago. Peter was very helpful in getting the right ones selected and everything has gone smoothly so far from a quality, look, and feel perspective. The shipping was delayed however by several weeks due to their shipping method. I was 2 months away from my A race so I was okay for timing but if something had of not been correct with the order it would have left me no time to get a replacement shipping so I was getting nervous.

Buying experience from Wheelscience

Buying from an Internet based seller you have no experience with is always daunting - like stepping into the unknown. I found the website and product and service testaments somewhat encouraging but you still have your doubts. Having direct contact with Peter, who I found most helpful, was significant in my decision making to give Wheelscience a go. I am very happy I made that the decision. The wait for my new wheels was a little longer than I expected but they arrived in perfect condition. When I lifted the box they came in I thought it was empty it was so light. However, they were well packaged, are now on the bike and so far, so good, performing well, giving me the additional speed and comfort I was looking for. Thanks Peter and Wheelscience.

Peter and his wheels are legit.

Everything they say about Peter and his wheels is true. The wheels are absolutely legit. I ordered the Elemental 60-88 rim brake wheelset with the DT Swiss 350 Upgrade. The wheels arrived faster than expected and in perfect condition. My bike rides like a dream. Peter's communication and customer service is second to none.

Absolutely outstanding

Absolutely outstanding. From the wheels to the customer service, absolutely faultless. The spec of the wheels are excellent, well made and great quality. The price, unbeatable. With something so good, you would expect a catch but there really isn’t one. Peter, the founder, went above and beyond to make sure I had the wheels for my 1000 mile Lands End to John O’Groats ride. This is my second set of wheels and doubt they’ll be my last.

New rim is great but shipping time was not.

I damaged the rim on my existing front wheel so I ordered just a rim as replacement. When it arrived I had my bike shop swap the hub and spokes over to the new rim. I have now ridden it a few times and I'm very happy with it.
However, the rim took a looong time to get shipped to me here in the UAE.

Great wheels, great price!

I bought a pair of Elemental 38 to use in my Cervélo TT bike for the Brazilian Ironman that took place last Sunday (May, 29), and it was just perfect. Even the shipment, with all that Covid and war stuff, was OK.

Great wheels, at a great price and a very nice customer support.

Really recommended it!

highly recommend them to anyone

I had certain specific requests for information that I couldn't locate anywhere else. Peter, on the other hand, swiftly answered all of my inquiries and made me feel at ease. I've been riding the wheels for months and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking for a set of wheels.

Excellent wheel, superior service

I have been very impressed with the overall experience with Wheel Science.

I am a triathlete and wanted to upgrade my aero bike setup with a full disc wheel. I came to Wheel Science from some online research, looking for less expensive options than Zipp that would still be good quality - and I am very pleased with the result.

Prior to ordering, I used the online chat function to get several of my questions answered, about the construction, the materials, the weight, the hub, etc. - and Peter was very responsive & knowledgeable & transparent. I went with the clincher (rim brake) with the upgrade option for a DT swiss hub, and sure enough, when I weighed the wheel myself it was bang on the number Peter had given me.

I have had the wheel only for a short time at this point, but the handful of test rides have gone well. The wheel was shipped with thick bubble wrapping which must have protected it well through its journey, as it rolls smooth & true.

I almost never write reviews, but wanted to take this time to share my positive experience with Peter & Wheel Science. I was a bit nervous ordering purely based on online research, but I found this experience extremely positive in the end.

Last year I bought the Elemental 38-50mm wheels. I reached out to Peter because the wheels were out of true. He said this was uncommon but he would reimburse me to have them fixed. I set the wheels aside for a year and just had them worked on. I went for a 50 mile ride with a stiff breeze. The wheels were great!! And I reached out to Peter, a year after we had first talked and he refunded me in minutes.
Thanks Peter!! Can't wait to ride.
