Madspeed7 wheels

[Morty1]

Afternoon

Does anyone have any experience with Madspeed7 wheels?

I am tempted to order one of the 'high end' sets but was wondering if anyone had any experience?

It's to go on a winter bike so other option is just to get something like shimano rs10 which my local bike shop sell.

Thanks

I bought a rear wheel from their eBay store to stick a turbo tyre on for Zwift. It's ok but not something I'd personally stick on for riding, couple of jagged edges especially at the point where the metal joins. Fairly average at the price point (I paid £45 and had a wheel with 8 speed cassette), suits me for Zwift though until I can afford a proper direct drive trainer!

The are better than the stuff that Boardman supply, the rear hub on my Boardman hybrid eBike failed this week, making horrible noises and on closer inspection am not sure what seals are on the hubs are suppose to look like, but am sure it isn't meant to look like this?? The bike was £2K, but most of the money went on electric motor, so Boardman clearly have cut costs else where like on the wheels.



So I just swapped if for the cheapest MadSpee7 wheel they sell. Ordered through their website site and got 10% off, delivered next day, under £70 with 10 speed cassette.

Just been out on it, and it feels nicer than the stock Boardman wheel. The scales say its 150g lighter than the original too, though the whole wheel+tyre+disc is still 2.3kg!!!

Time will tell how long it lasts for commuting duties - the Boardman on lasted less than 18 months. Am actually tempted to order a front wheel to replace the stock Boardman one, but they don't a thule axle version.

How are you finding them now? Still riding good/not broken etc.?

Nearly 1 year on, no issues, still runs true, done about 2500 miles commuting on them.
