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 Quality gravel wheelset
Purchased the scribe gravel wheelset about 2 months ago now for my commute gravel bike. They came well packaged, pre taped, and a pair of tubeless valves ready for tubeless setup. Out of the box I was impressed with the look and the quality of the wheelset. Had them on my bike for two months now and I cannot fault them, they run true and smooth, and for the £329 price they are really good quality, the rear hub is quite loud, but I do like the loud rear hub. Overall I'm really pleased with my purchase and recommend them, definitely considering purchasing the cardon wheelset for my gravel bike now.
Great wheels
Great wheels. Fast and lightweight. Fantastic values for money. As good if not better than big branded wheels at twice the price. Turned around the order in less than 10 days
Took only one message request
Took only one message request ! Scribe team made it happen in 24 hours to add a new destination on their country shipping list. Super professional and very helpful when asked about technical issues.
I placed the order and received the wheels in 6 working days.
I did not spin the wheels yet but definitely will give another review once on the road.
Thank you so much Scribe team.
Keep up the good work.
Nicolas.
Core 50 - great value fast light wheels
Local pick up and support in Belfast. Good value well built wheels. I selected core 50. Very happy with them.
Race Aluminium wheelset
I bought a set of race aluminium wheels.
I was looking for a light set of aluminium wheels for a commuting road bike. I don’t race or ride competitively, and didn’t want to spend big money.
These are a great bang for buck wheel for anyone with similar requirements to me. Cheaper and lighter than all competitors for a similar model/price range.
After lots of research, I was a bit anxious about how loud the hubs were going to be. I can confidently say, that the new ratchet hubs are surprisingly quiet. I did however ask Scribe to grease them up, which they did.
That leads me to the service. AMAZING!!
So incredibly helpful with the questions I had before purchase and throughout. I asked if the hubs could be greased, no problem. I asked if it was possible to get them within 72 hours as I needed them by a certain day, no problem.
I would definitely use them again, though I would like to see more variety in models going forward. Hoping that over time Scribe will expand their portfolio similarly to another highly regarded UK wheel company.
One thing that would be nice, if for it to be publicly stated where the wheels are manufactured. I have no problem with them not being manufactured in Ireland, I would just like to see some transparency here. Ireland build and QC is good enough for me, and probably 99.9% of other Scribe customers who are buying them for their price vs quality.
Great customer service, supply chain from China with inhereted risks...
My delivery date was delayed more than once, which was negative - that's why I take one star. On the other hand, all my questions were always answered quickly, both before the purchase and mainly to offer transparency about the delay and updates on the delivery. Scribe was not guilty on the delay either... typical issues of Chinese supply chain.
About the product quality I can only evaluate after using it - so far the visual and touch impression is great!

Additional arrival time but excellent service!!
My package took longer to arrive than I expected but the guys at Scribe answered everything on time and explained the situation with Royal Mail shipping to my country. Excellent service. Great response time. Awesome guys at Scribe. Dan and Lindsay, thanks for everything!

Super fast shipping to the states
Super fast shipping to the states. I ordered on a Friday and received my wheels the following Thursday.
Fantastic experience from Scribe
Fantastic experience from Scribe. Got onto their online chat and had a really open discussion with a staff member about the wheels and technical information. But it was also a nice friendly chat between cyclists. Never made to feel stupid when asking specific questions. All extremely helpful.
I ordered wheels that night and they were with me in under a week. They look fantastic and they feel really really good on the bike.
Nice set of wheels for the money

Wow. 2nd fivestar review from me on these
Had these for 6 months. In a paceline yesterday and hit a traffic cone straight on at about 20mph. Almost went over the bars (nose wheelie) and bounced the front wheel over it,but saved it and slammed the rear down at about a 45 degree angle
Checked and the wheels were perfect! This despite enough force that my hand jumped up my bar tape and ripped my brake hood!
FANTASTIC. Fast smooth stable. Easy Tubeless setup
Big Recommendation from the USA
I love these wheels, they hold speed so well. Honestly, don’t bother wasting your money on big logos, Scribe Wheels are every bit as fast, slick and well handling.
I’m based in the US and I was thoroughly impressed by how quick and efficient the delivery was. Big recommend, may even buy a second set!
Great wheels/great service
The wheels are great. After noticing a slight defect Scribe gave me the option of replacing them and even using them temporarily until new ones were available or getting a discount. I took the discount and am very happy.
The wheels feel like they are scary fast. My friend who was holding my wheel today was impressed.
