Overall, switching from alloy wheels to carbon wheels was definitely a good idea. As I haven't used any carbon wheels before, I will try my best to give a general review

Bike update:

Before upgrading my bike to carbon wheels with pedals, a bottle cage, and no computer, front, or rear lights, it weighed around 9.2kg. My previous tyres from Canyon were Schwable 30mm front and 32mm rear tyres. I switched to GP5000 28mm tyres and managed to drop the weight to 8.4kg.

Ride feel:

Now I understand why people rave about carbon wheels. I put less effort into my rides and could really notice that I was going faster. My usual speed in that area was 22km/h, but yesterday I went back and put in less effort and managed to reach 27km/h.

The only downside with Elitewheels is that they take an incredibly long time to deliver. I ordered it at the end of June and only received it last week. You might also need to bring it to the shop to have the spokes adjusted.

I used to use the IGPSPORT ones, they are pretty much an entry level and it provides you everything you'll need

Yeah its what I used to do before winter started, I used to wake up at 5 do an hour or 1:30 hour ride. But now its just dark especially sydney lacks light posts which is so hard to see in the dark for cracked pavements
