🚴 Can a 1200g road wheelset handle real gravel?

Lenny* bought a set of Schmolke SL 37 wheels, then put them through 2500km of road, rough tarmac and regional Queensland gravel.

This is not polished marketing copy. It’s a proper rider review, with the good, the honest, the buying process, the setup, the delays, the weight check, and the answer to the big question:

Would he buy them again?

A great read if you’ve ever looked at boutique carbon wheels and wondered whether they’re actually worth it.

Thanks again to Lenny* for taking the time to write such a detailed review.

Real Schmolke SL 37 review after 2500km on road and gravel. Lenny explains why he chose Schmolke over Reserve, how they ride, and whether he’d buy them again.
