Serenade - Chinese carbon wheels
I bought a couple of sets of wheels from a Chinese make called Serenade.

There are hundreds of makes out there, and I spent ages researching. In the end, I went with one that had no bad reviews, communicated well, was very competitive in price and gave me some options for customisation.

The gravel wheelset is 50mm deep, 30mm internal and 1480g. Bladed spokes. This is the heavy duty spec - I am 203cm and 101kg. I've done two rides on them with 45/40mm G-One RX Pro tyres (which swell out to 48/42mm). They seem incredibly aero, as my descending speed is extremely high. Power transfer is very good and they are stiff but comfortable.

The road wheelset is to be tested tomorrow. 55/60mm deep, 22mm internal, 1412g (again, heavy weight construction), bladed spokes.

I love the finish on the rims, and they look really special.

I paid for the wheels and didn't really get any discount, other than a little bit as I bought two sets. Total cost delivered was just under 10,000kr for both sets. I'll do an honest review of them. If they can survive me, they can survive anyone!

Serenade - Chinese carbon wheels
First impressions have been very good.

The gravel set continues to be very rapid, stiff but comfortable on any terrain. I raced at Grenna Gravel on Saturday last week and they didn't miss a beat. I ended up placing third, 22 seconds behind first (on 53 minutes of raced segments) and the wheels survived me doing a new 2 minute power pb of 647w.

The road set has proved to be very quick and comfortable in about 300km of riding so far. Half of that has been solo at an average of just over 37kph and 310w (I'm 101kg) and the other half was Västeråsvägen race at just under 40kph. 32mm GP5000s fitted, that measure 32mm on the 22mm internals.

Serenade have developed a 28mm internal wavey marble matte gravel wheel, with 50 and 60mm profiles. I'm ordering a few sets for some guys here and myself. I'll swap my 30mm internals over to the Grizl with some 2.1/2.2 MTB race tyres and the 28mm internals will work well on the Grail.

Anyway, first impressions are really positive.
