1 Collect

Specs and prices come from the manufacturer’s shop or spec sheet, every value with its link and retrieval date. Whatever is missing shows as “unknown”. Nothing is estimated or taken from similar models.
2 Convert

The comparison converts prices in foreign currencies to euros at the ECB reference rate (€1 = $1.1253 on 16 Oct 2026). Shipping, duties and import VAT come on top.
3 Rate

11 ratings per wheelset: weight relative to depth and internal width, internal and external width, load capacity and seven shop terms. Grey means unclear. Tap a rating to see when it turns green, yellow or red.
4 Sort

The ratings turn into points. The list shows the most first. This is how they count:

Exception: grey counts 0 for duties, shipping and accessories.

Extra: +1 for carbon spokes with a source, +1 for a ratchet freehub with a source
Order: Most points first, at most 24.
Tie: Lighter than expected first (weight relative to depth and internal width), then lower price, then rim depth.
Highlights: The first four of the list, one per brand.
Partnerships: Change no points and no data.
