Mercury Wheels A5C Wheelset - Clincher for Sale, Reviews, Deals and Guides

These A5 wheels are the bomb. They accelerate, cruise, and climb hills amazingly. Very pleased with my purchase.

Super light and fast. Great as a do it all full carbon wheelset.

If you are hesitant to click the buy button, trust that you will not be disappointed. If you have a choice, I would recommend going with disc over rim brake. If you do not have a choice, then you should note these rims are crazy wide. I had to release cable on my Ultegra brakes quite a bit to get them to fit and only then did they barely clear the pads. Therefore, they are a bit of work to get them to fit a rim brake enabled bike. This would all be unnecessary with discs. Regardless, once I installed the wheels, I was amazed at how fast and light they felt. I first realized this when I lifted up the bike. The difference was staggering compared the stock aluminum rims. On my first ride there was no drama and the wheels were noticeably super stiff and fast. When I hammered on them, I was able to beat a Strava KOM of mine by 29 seconds...seriously. These wheels are quick! Worried about cross winds? That has not been a major issue thus far. You feel them, but it is a predictable kind of feel. I never felt out of control. In short, you will not be disappointed, just make some time to widen your brakes. Additionally, the freewheel is crazy loud but smooth. Finally, my set had a bit of material within the rim that made noise while spinning on the work stand, but seems to have gone away. A little quality check on those may have prevented that. Overall, I am very pleased with the wheels. They look sharp on the bike and I love the subtle labeling on the style purchased from Competitive Cyclist.

Have used this wheels for more than 8 months with over 2000 miles and love them. They’re very fast, stiff, light and high quality, not easy to find at this price! Also they look great with the stealth decals.

I waited 10 months to write this review to see how the A5 wheels perform. Having over 3300 miles, I can say that I love these wheels. Excellent hand built in the USA. The hubs are awesome and very smooth with good engagement. Tubeless setup was easy. Well done Mercury.

These wheels are a huge upgrade from my Hed Jet wheelset. Going on 7 months so far and everything is good. Love the Kamm Tail design. Light and strong with super smooth hubs. Running Michelin 25c tires on them and they feel good. Highly recommend.

Kamm tail on a road wheel! I have been waiting for this to happen for a few years. I noticed Trek and Canyon jumping on it with their frames, but not wheels........ and yes I am an engineer.

Read a review on the A5's and liked the idea of the kamm tail. I read up on the kamm tail and immediately started noticing almost all the sports cars have this design. Back to bikes... I threw them on my road bike to test out and noticed they roll nicely with the hubs having a cool pewter grey anodized finish. The wheels were stiff when I pressed on the pedals or took a corner at speed. I had a TT a few weeks ago where I won the Cat 2 category, but also bested my previous best avg. speed by 1mph over 40K.
