Anyone used FarSports or Yoeleo?

Hi everyone,
I'm in the market for a new set of wheels and i am considering the 50mm carbon clinchers from FarSports and Yoeleo. Has anyone any experience of ordering/using wheels from these companies? Budget is approx €750 so zipps, enve, bora's etc are all out.

I currently have a set of Ksyrium Elite S wheels which are working away fine but i am looking to get a more aero wheel as all of the research i have read seems to indicate that aerodynamics has a bigger influence on speed compared to lightweight on all but the steepest hills. In saying that the carbon clinchers i am looking at are actually lighter than my Ksyrium Elite's so i should see a benefit both in terms of weight and aerodynamics.

I have been racing on the Ksyriums for the past 2 years and they have been grand but i'm seeing more and more aero wheels in races so i feel like jumping on the bandwagon.

One more thing, at 67kg, am i likely to experience trouble with crosswinds or do the new U-shape rims reduce the chances of being blown about?

Thanks

Id look at a 38mm wheel set. At your weight 50mm will pull in the wind.

I 've bought a set from Farsports, haven't used it too much, but the whole process of communication, shipping was fine. The quality is great also.

I have a set of 50mm clinchers from Farsports. Done about 4500kms on them now. I did experience a front wheel wobble on a long fast decent in a cross wind. Check out the update at the bottom of this review of them(not by me)
