My story is important for anyone needing a single wheel
My story is important for anyone needing a single: this is regarding a previous (2020) generation Ryot 55 dt240 wheelset that I wanted to turn into a mixed set and needed a (2020) Ryot 44 single front in order to do so.. not only was Steven kind enough to send me the 44, but I got it at a very reasonable price, with shipping and taxes included and I have to say, the 44 wheel is perfectly balanced and runs like a charm with the 55! The 55 front was a little bit too aggressive for me, but with the 55/44 rear/front respectively, I love this set. I wasn't even aware that FFWD would sell single wheels..! I couldn't be happier with how this worked out!
Ik rij zelf sinds een paar maanden met de Ryot 55 en mijn zoon met de Ryot 44
Ik rij zelf sinds een paar maanden met de Ryot 55 en mijn zoon met de Ryot 44. Tot nu toe de beste wielset die ik heb gereden. Ze zijn stijf, wendbaar en niet erg windgevoelig. Iets waar ik met mijn vorige wielset wel veel last van had.
The wheels arrived in good condition and at first glance I was very satisfied – they are really beautiful.
Unfortunately, I encountered an issue with the rear wheel. After installing the tire, I discovered that it was losing air due to incorrectly applied rim tape.
As a result, I had to visit a service center twice. First, the tires were installed, and after discovering the issue, I had to return again to have the tire removed and the rim tape replaced. This caused me additional service costs, which was quite disappointing given that the wheels are brand new.
The wheelset and customer service are outstanding. Questions answered, packaged excellently and shipped fast with a free hat! I have about 500 miles on the Ryot 44 wheelset, currently setup tubeless running 35mm tires and its the most outstanding ride to date! Looking forward, (not fast) to a long and versatile relationship with these wheels.
I was doing a small research before buying my first new set of carbon wheels. Even discussion with ChatGPT ended with recommendation of FFWD Ryot's with DT Swiss hubs. :) And I am glad I've pulled the trigger. The wheels are absolutely amazing. Not only that they looks so good and the branding is subtle, yes some of us do not like big white letters everywhere :) They are stiff and want to go fast, encouraging you with the question is that all you've got? :D I went with 44s, in the middle, as I was afraid 50 for the side wind, but no big issues there. Even my lightweight body configuration can handle it easily after some practise. On the straights I am around 2kph faster than on my old alu wheels with the same power. And they are lighter than my old DT Swiss 30 alu wheels, so climbing no issue, actually I am faster there as well. Did only 200km so far, but seems they will last long time, hoping. Price performance ratio is excellent I will say. Will try them on some gravel later this year, but on road despite the fact they are stiff are also very comfortable to ride. Not mentioning that the delivery was super fast and packaging very nice, you will get also a wheels bag which you can use not only for wheels, but as a stylish cycling bag for clothing and other stuff when traveling ;) Excellent job guys, thank you very much.
Love them! My first pair of carbon wheels. They hold speed well enough for me. Went with 44 depth because I am under 60kg and predominantly ride rolling hills. They do catch wind but nothing twitchy nor uncontrollable about them.
I opted for the black decals, for that understated look. They are gorgeous! Particularly under sunlight. I ride only on road but wanted something sturdy.
They arrived true and still remain that way 2000km later. I will only be switching to tubeless on the next set of tires. Wheelset arrived with tubeless valves installed and in a lovely wheel bag.
Extremely thrilled my purchase!
Good contact with the company, they respond quickly to emails, fast delivery of goods. Wheels packed in a solid cardboard box and additionally in a fabric wheel cover.
Wheels of good quality (Ryot 44), stiff, spokes well tensioned, not very sensitive to wind gusts. The n/gage hubs are a copy of the DT Swiss 350 hubs so service is trivial.
Without a doubt the best wheels I've ever ridden. Light, aerodynamic, responsive... Add to that a superb aesthetic, flawless assembly, and exceptional service. Mounted with 28mm tubeless tires, they literally transformed my bike into a war machine on all profiles. My first FFWD wheelset, but certainly not the last.
Love my new wheel set. I replaced my OEM wheels on a bike I just purchased and noticable change in stiffness, acceleration and free wheeling efficiency. Aesthetically they look amazing and hub noise is beautiful (without being obnoxiously loud 😂). Only been out a couple of times on them but am really liking them so far!
De eerste kilometers op de Ryot44 wielen waren fantastisch. De wielen rijden super. Fantastisch afgewerkt en afgeleverd. Voor aankoop contact gehad met FFWD, waarbij zeer snel werd gereageerd en geacteerd. Daarbij zien ze onder de fiets er ook nog eens goed uit!
I had looked at many wheels for my Time Alp d'Huez build but Mapdec's recommendation sealed the deal although I already have a set of FFWD F2R's.
The updated rim with a 23mm inner width was the clincher (if you'll excuse the pun!) as I will be using TPU inner tubes on 28mm tyres so I also wanted hooked rims.
The delivery was quick and I love the gloss on carbon branding which will match the Deda stem, bars and seatpost.
Just waiting for SRAM to update their Force AXS groupset and the build will be good to go.
