Emerging carbon wheels brands. There seems to be a lot of them and the carbon wheel market is becoming more and more crowded. So what's the point in investing into a boutique carbon wheel player when you can buy mainstream and have the peace of mind. In this video we'll be delving into that question, via speed tests, a mechanics point of view, and a general overview of each rim. Aaron will be pulling apart the hubs and giving us a mechanical run down. 

Regarding the speed tests:
- All standing starts from same position 
- Very low wind day
- Wind direction and gusts noted in spreadsheet
- Tyres and tubes the same
- Same level of water in water bottle (I sip out of one in my car!)
- Same body position
- Same power meter (for this run it was my Wahoo powerlink pedals)
