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 Wheel Models and Outstanding Product Descriptions
I really like this website! The wheel models are presented excellently, and the variety is exactly what I was looking for. The descriptions are detailed and professional, easy to understand, and very helpful when choosing the right product. Highly recommended!
Pace Rim Brake Alloy
Latest Scribe wheels for me are the Pace Rim Brake Alloy - a replacement wheel-set for my winter bike - they're excellent quality and look and feel great. Add this to the excellent service I've come to expect from Scribe - cheers!
Pace wheels - great moderately priced upgrade
I had decided to upgrade by wheelset over buying a new bike. After some research I landed on scribe. I had many questions which were promptly answered by various members of the team (ranging from compatibility, sizing and other consideration. Ordering was easy, and the wheels arrived in Canada within 4-5 days. I have so far ride about 100km, and the difference to the stock wheels I had is very noticable (order pace alloy rim brake). Although not the carbon aero wheels, the responsiveness of the wheels is noticeably quicker, and overall ride feel was greatly improved, even with some winter tires on. I cannot yet speak to the durability/ longevity, but from my initial impressions, they seem well built. Looking forward to putting them through their paces (no pun intended) in the spring and summer months.
Hope they role a bit better
Hope they role a bit better. The look of them is 10/10. Could also be some more sound.

Really great customer service
Really great customer service! I asked a lot of questions (probably a bit too many), but always received fast and helpful responses.
The products were exceptional, just as expected.
I’ll definitely recommend Scribe and order again in the future!
Wheels are great super light and…
Wheels are great super light and extremely smooth power transition but cannot give a five star due to them taking a month to arrive but not a fault on the scribe team but their supplier

Excellent communication despite delays
This review is for the service only really as I have not yet fitted the wheels let alone ridden them - they do look excellent and feel super light though! Even though the delivery date was delayed even more than first communicated, I was kept up to date (even though I did have to initiate the correspondance via email). I had asked for specific delivery days (the days that I work from home), and this was noted and worked perfectly. The wheels arrived the next day from dispatch as stated. Just need the good weather to return so I can put them onto the bike. Roll on Spring!
