An unboxing and comparison of the Elite Wheels Edge 50 (sold on Aliexpress.com) to my existing Elite Wheels Drive G45 wheelset (sold directly from elitewheels.com website). *Technical correction: The hub design is generic and should not be confused with the doubleratchet hub on their Drive Helix line of wheelsets.*
$600 Edge 50 Wheelset Weight (without tubeless valves and tape): 1375 grams
$900 Drive G45 Wheelset Weight (with tubeless valves and tape): 1415 grams
