Quote | Reply
Slowtwitchers - In typical Planet X Style - Here's a new release that you're sure to enjoy!!



Planet X is taking on the HED H3 deep mano y mano! This scientifically designed and tested wheelset is going to take the World by storm with it's unbelievable aerodynamics and wind deflection.

Weighing a piddly 1,860g for the set (just over 100g heavier than the H3 deep), the set is now ON SALE for a limited time, and the first time in the United States, for only $999. ($949 for Slowtwitchers - be sure to enter code: SLOWTWITCH at checkout) That's right...the SET is $350 LESS expensive than a SINGLE HED H3 deep. Our model of selling direct and leveraging our massive purchasing power allows us to introduce this wheelset in the United States for a fraction of it's competitors.
  • 70 mm depth, front and rear
  • Tubular only
  • Shimano/Sram compatible hub
  • Includes skewers
  • Includes carbon specific brake pads
  • 915g front wheel, 965g rear wheel
  • High-modulus japanese (best in the world) carbon

As with ALL Planet X products, this wheelset comes with a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects.

Hurry...our initial shipment was only 7 sets (6 in red/black and 1 in silver/grey)...these will sell out FAST!!

Can we get them w/o the decals or do they come off? Not under some kind of clear coat?

Nice looking hoops!

Is there any way to order up a wheel in the future and not have the decals? I understand your batch now has them, but in the future? I don't like decals on my stuff....bikes, wheels or otherwise.....thanks.

The shiny clear coat is sexy looking though!

I'll look into it, but I have to be honest and say that I don't know if it will be possible. Having our name on the product has obvious advantages.

Blessings,

Brian

I'm sold, almost. I'm in the market for wheels and this looks like a great option. Do you have details to back up the "unbelievable aerodynamics and wind deflection" statement?

Why would you make them heavier than what you want to compete with?

Thanks for the note...too early to tell. 650c are not a big seller, so I doubt that option. As for selling single wheels...probably will do so when I get in a much larger shipment...only time will tell.

Blessings,

Brian

It's a nice idea for sure...I'm working with my disc manufacturer to see about the availability. I do happen to have a couple of VERY slightly used discs if you're interested...clinchers and/or tubular.

I would imagine it is so that they can manufacture them for less and sell them for less. If I'm trying to compete with an established company, and I can make something that is almost as good as the original for way less, I might stand a chance. If I spend tons of money to match the original and then can't beat the price, I'm screwed.

If they weren't tubies, I would be all over these, but I just flat too damn much to consider it. And I would still be slow, with or without them.

Me too. I was all happy until I saw they're not clinchers. Oh well, still looking.

Like it or not (I lean towards the "not"), ebay is the cheapest worldwide marketing ever. I'm glad you pointed out that I've given a nice discount to Slowtwitchers.

I appreciate your comments, and your interest in Planet X. I say this with ALL due respect, but it would probably be a minimum order of over 100 sets to get these made anywhere close the pricing I'm trying to give here. I will certainly inquire with the factory, and once again, thank you for your support!!

Blessings,
