Avoid at all costs I don't often write reviews but I feel compelled to do so on this occasion. I would not be exaggerating to say this has been one of my worst experiences of a high ticket purchases. Basically £700 worth of wheels. Approx 1,000 miles on the wheelset and rear free hub started to come loose. I thought not a problem with a 3 year warranty and duly sent off for repair. No contact for several weeks and eventually receive a bill for the repair with the claim it was wear and tear so not covered under warranty. I paid as I was concerned my rear wheel wouldn't be seen again. Inference either the components are cheap rubbish from China or the assembly was poor as a 1,000 miles does not constitute any sort of distance to wear a hub out. Reading other reviews here there is obviously a common theme where this business likes the sales but not interested in looking after the customer. Sad thing is the husband and wife team don't realise that these poor reviews cost them much more than the warranty repair would have done.

Poor warranty experience Working in the cycling industry specifically within customers service I am the first to know and appreciate that product do have occasional issues from new. I was disappointed when my brand new ZED rear wheel failed on its 3rd ride out due to a spike nipple failing. I thought nothing of it given ZED are a local business, and thought the customer would be great. Although it was much the opposite. I had to work out how to return the wheels, as although there was a returns label no instructions were provided. After 3 weeks of little to no update I was eventually told that they needed my front wheel in order to repair my rear wheel??? Over 3 weeks and later I had my wheel returned and on the first ride of 5.5km, it was buckled. Obviously this is not what you would expect from a high end wheel. Currently I’m having to file a case American Express as this has caused damage to my equally as new frame set. EDIT: I have had the wheels back 12 days, and only had chance to do 100ish km. Yesterday evening I turned into my street, after a short ride home from work, and the wheel exploded. Yet to hear what ZED have to say but now I’m left with a £1300 wind chime. Overall this negative experience has changed my opinion on ZED from a raving fan to someone unlikely to order from or recommend ZED again.

Faulty Wheels & Awful Customer Service 7 months ago I ordered "AERO ULTRA SL5 STRING SPOKE, Rim Brake, String Spoke" Was very excited after reading lots of positive reviews. Unfortunately the wheels were faulty. Initially I thought these things happen and will be sorted quickly. After inspection by Zed the issues were said to not exist and wheels returned. My bike shop confirmed issues still present and wheels unsafe to ride. After video footage taken by bike shop the problems were acknowledged by Zed but blamed on my bike shop/ me. Eventually the warranty was said to be invalid due to "unauthorised works being carried out on the wheels" which was completely untrue. There were no grounds for suggesting this at all. Thankfully the bike shop in question had predicted Zed would go down this route and had taken measures to prove what they had/ had not done with the wheels. Customer service was extremely poor and essentially amounted to being told that lots of people love our wheels so there can't possibly be an issue with your wheels. If you are thinking of buying through this company I would certainly advise caution. Perhaps I have been unlucky with the wheels but the manner in which the issue has been dealt with has been awful from start to finish. 31/01/2024 Just in follow up to the response by Zed: Indeed, always two sides to a story but I can honestly say that in 20 years of cycling and enjoying this sport I have not had a worse purchase experience. It all started out great and all very friendly and good communication while selling. As soon as money was received and issues with wheels became apparent it was a totally different story. I was keen to try give as many chances as possible to resolve the issues. Ultimately it was only the threat of legal action, supported by my local bike shop, after 7 months that resulted in a reluctant refund.

Ordered, never heard any more ? Bought a wheelset and after I received the thank you for your order email I never heard from them again despite emailing multiple times (now 20 days later). Currently doing a credit card chargeback. Disappointing.

Amazing wheels at a competitive price Amazing wheels at a good price and have been faultless in the years I have had them. Wanted to change the freehub and they were also helpful with advice/providing parts even though this was some time after purchase.
