For those running Sixth Element - just wondering on your thoughts on them? Been thinking about them for a while and noticed the Easter £100 off!!
I'm running an Orange Alpine 6 with non boost forks so am thinking the Classic 38.32 will be the best fit as I'm running around 2.35 tyres, but would be interested to hear what others are running?
TIA
I'm just about to give mine there first real test today
I've done 3 local rides and they are solid .
But today in the peaks will be a good test
Fitted with a hope cassette I've dropped some extra weight
However they are an kdentiden build to what you can get elsewhere much cheaper
They are a generic Chinese rim stickered up as sixth elements
This is how modern day trade has become.talking as someone who deals with china
So they are identical to the lights wheels which you can buy direct from China via eBay for just under £600 shipped with hope hubs built
However if back up is a problem just get the blueflow wheels from the UK which against the same but £650 del direct from there website again with pro 4 hubs
I nearly went for Blue Flow wheels as the warranty and more importantly the crash replacement seemed good. Sixth element just looked vastly over priced given they were Chinese imported rims with posh stickers. Or have I got it completely wrong??? Went for flows on hope in the end.
I got some sixth element, and they're a good wheel. I actually got 180 quid off, bringing them much closer to the cost of the blue flows, which I had also looked at - keep an eye out for promotions as he sometimes does some very good ones.
Can't comment on the flows, which have a good reputation too, but Graham @Sixth element has been great to deal with and the wheels are very well built.
Oh - and the Sixth Element stickers aren't stickers 🙂
On not stickers??? But part of the construction? So basically under the clear coat?
thanks for the video link! This is my favourite...
