After just two rides I can say I love the SL5 Elan wheel set. The improvement over the Hollowgram R45 was drastic. Almost 500 grams lighter and the perceived aerodynamic and rolling/spinning resist... See more

Great service, beautiful, light and fast wheels

From start to finish all questions were promptly answered. Even deliberately slowing the delivery was no problem at all. I chose Elan 50s. Just fitted with nice new Pirelli P-Zero tyres and ridden only once so far. Feels much better than my earlier setup even though arguably it wasn’t a huge upgrade. Very pleased so far. Looking forward to many happy (and faster) km.

Hi David, thanks a lot for leaving a review!

We're thrilled to hear that you're happy with our service and your new Elan 50 SuperLight+ carbon wheels!

As your Elan SL+ wheels were hand-built by us with UD Carbon Fibre spokes and our T1000 Toray carbon fibre rims, this ensures they are stiff, responsive and extremely durable.

We're delighted to hear that you've already noticed better performance from your bike, David, and we hope you enjoy your wheels for many more miles (and years) to come!

If you ever need any assistance or have any questions about our wheelsets, please don't hesitate to jump on a live chat on our website or email us at team@scribecycling.com

Thanks,

Dan M

Faultless

Primarily these are great quality wheels at a fantastic price. Customer service was really helpful and responsive, always getting back to me on my queries very quickly. They guided me through the process of ordering through the cycle to work scheme. Communication over how the order was progressing also a plus.

Scribe Inception 50+

Excellent set of carbon wheels, after reading the positive review on Cycling Weekly I opted to purchase the Scribe Inception 50+ wheels. So far so good, great looking wheels, they roll v well and I like the freehub sound. Great upgrade for a excellent price.

Hi Berry,

Thanks very much for taking the time to write a review!

We're delighted to hear you're really enjoying how your wheels look, and more importantly, perform!

We're also very proud that Cycling Weekly felt the same way!

All of our wheels are built with our own rims and hubs, which have been designed in-house by our R&D team and manufactured to our specific designs/specifications.

We put a lot of work into designing, testing (real-world + wind tunnel) and optimising our wheels, and it's great to hear the hard work has paid off!

We hope you continue to enjoy your Incepttion 50+ disc brake wheels for many miles (and years) to come!

As always, if you need any assistance or have any questions about our wheels, please jump on a live chat or email us at team@scribecycling.com

Thanks again,

Dan M

Wheel cracked in three places beside spokes. I reported the crack 3 months after warranty period expired (3 years). I noticed the wheel wobbling already few month before, but didn't notice cracks. Eventually I only got a small discount for new wheel. Bad quality of the wheel or wheel building.
Support was quick, but didn't help much, only offered small discount for the new wheel.

Hi Gorazd,

Thanks for taking the time to leave some feedback. I'm sorry to hear you weren't completely satisfied with our response.

I've reviewed our recent emails with you, and I can see you mentioned that you noticed a problem with your wheel but kept riding it for a few months until the problem became worse.

Please try to understand, it would have been best if you had contacted us as soon as you noticed the problem. Continuing to ride will have caused extra stress to the wheel's rim, forcing the cracks you mentioned.

Regarding the discount we provided, I can see that as a goodwill gesture (since you were beyond your 3 year warranty), we reduced the price of a new Pace rim brake front wheel by €60 and also reduced the price of upgraded ceramic bearings by €20 too. We feel this is quite a generous discount, and as a relatively small business, it's the very best offer we could make.

It's also worthwhile mentioning, as with any mechanical item that's being used often and is exposed to the elements, that occasional maintenance and servicing are essential. I noticed in our emails that you mentioned you hadn't had the spoke tensions checked in the 3 years that you had your wheels. During a yearly bike service, a bike mechanic would routinely check your wheel's spoke tensions.

It's a shame you now feel disappointed with your wheels, as in your emails, you mentioned you've had a blast riding with them over the last 3 years.

We hope that when you fit your new Pace rim brake wheel, you can get back to having a blast on your bike again very soon!

Thanks again for your feedback Gorazd, we truly value every contact we have with our customers. We're constantly reviewing our policies and procedures and we know there are always ways we can improve as a company.

As always Gorazd, if you need any more assistance or have any questions about our wheelsets, please don't hesitate to jump on a live chat with us or email us at team@scribecycling.com

Thanks,

Dan M

Faultless customer experience

Used Halfords C2W which was hassle free to get some lightweight rim brake alloys for my winter bike. Incredibly efficient from placing the order to the knock from the courier. Can’t fault service at all.

Upgraded my stock wheels to the Alloy Gravel wheels.
Due to their popularity there was a bit of a wait for my wheels, but was informed regularly throughout.
The wheels themselves are top notch, super light, finishing quality is faultless, nice noisy hub (which I personally like), they even come with a signed QC checklist.
Only fault is no free stickers!😜
