Reviews over the
Mantel R50 TLR

4 / 5
nice price/quality balance
Great wheels that not only look good (stickers come right off...) but are wonderfully stiff on climbs and acceleration.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Highly recommended with a budget-friendly price for decent carbon wheels
For me the wheels are what I expected them to be so far. Runs very smoothly especially on the flat and are very direct both when turning on and also in hilly areas. However, the included brake pads are of lesser quality, but you can always replace them with better ones. Certainly not a bad purchase for a nice and fast upgrade for your bike.

Very good set of wheels for a very nice price
I have had the wheels for several months now, I am very happy with them. They meet expectations to the maximum. Despite the high rim, the wind has little effect on the handling.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Very satisfied with the good driving characteristics.
These are the first carbon rims I've tried, and so far they've really lived up to my expectations. Surprised that it's actually easier to maintain a relatively high speed. Haven't tried them in the rain, so I don't know how they brake there, but in the dry there are no problems.

Good Experience
Bought them a month ago and already over 1000 km on them, I'm hooked! I can't compare with other carbon wheels because these are my first... What I can say is that it's a real pleasure to ride these wheels, efficient with lateral wind. I live in Calais, so it's appreciable!

Excellent pair of wheels
I have only covered about a thousand kilometers yet, but I can already make a first report. Very good value for money, very good rim seal with tubeless mounting and also easy to install. Also good braking in line with the type of rims, good stiffness on shots. The only thing I would improve is the smoothness of the hubs, but I think with some more miles it could improve.

My first carbon wheels
My first carbon wheels so hard to compare with other products but they roll well and are straight. Have only driven 30 miles with them so it is difficult to judge the quality and durability over time. Therefore gives four stars.

Very nice wheelset for reasonable amount.
These wheels ride perfectly. Now also tried them in very strong crosswinds. No problem at all. Wheels are very stiff and I thought as a hobbyist I wouldn't notice it. Nothing is less true. You feel like you are riding a new bike instead of just new wheels. I also had the problem with the brake pads for the rim brakes. That has to change.

Good wheels, however poor brake pads
Nice stiff wheels for a good price. Too bad the brake pads don't fit though, doesn't say if they are suitable for shimano brake pad holders, but that's what I assumed since these are the most commonly used and it has a shimano hub on it.

Nice set with good value for money
Rides very smoothly and with wind a little feeling but that goes well after a few times too

Tight wheels, be careful with crosswinds though (for light riders)
After reading many reviews of different rims, I ended up with Mantel's carbon rims. Initially very satisfied. Good service from Mantel. Nice looks and sound. Immediately noticed the difference compared to my previous aluminum rims (Mavic Aksium). Much stiffer. Only on my first ride in wind force 4/5 I was disappointed with the side wind. Based on the reviews I did not expect this. Possibly the wheels are less suitable if you are a light and tall rider (72 kg, 1.88m) and want to ride safely in wind force >4. Otherwise super wheels!

Satisfied with these wheels (see over time)
Good feel, even hearing. Nimble wheels and low sensitivity to crosswind.

Very nice wheels
After reading many reviews of different brands I ended up with the carbon version from Mantel, the 50 TLR for rim brakes. After mounting the tires on the rim this went pretty easy and after mounting the rim in the bike this gave the bike a directly different look than my previous rims with alu brake rims. (Ursuswielen58). And then the riding characteristics of the 50TLR rim ride very tight and little bother from side winds I have cycled with wind force 4a5 in beautiful Friesland where it is almost always windy. But also when sprinting up overpasses it takes little effort and when rolling down the rims are very good and run nicely. The rattle in the rear wheel is very nice and sounds like music to my ears.

4 / 5
Too bad there were incorrect brake pads supplied with the wheels.
Nice lightweight carbon wheels at an excellent price. However, fitting the included brake pads was difficult. I checked the website and it turned out that campagnolo brake pads were included. Brake pads for shimano brakes were not in stock. Eventually resolved with Mantel.
