ICAN Wheels
I'm looking to upgrade my road bike wheels and I came across some ICAN wheels. The price is so low, I'm questioning their quality.

Anyone have any experience with ICAN?
Suggestions for a wheel set in the $500 range?

I have 3 sets of the Alpha carbon wheels, 1 for each of my road bikes. My primary bike, a Cervelo Caledonia, has the Alpha 50 rims. They have almost 11,000 miles on them. No problems with them. The wheels are true. The freehub makes a clicking sound when coasting. Some people find that annoying but I'm used to it and tune it out. My other 2 bikes have the Alpha 46 rims. They each have about 3500 miles on them. Last week I had a problem with the rear wheel. I contacted ICAN Cycling via email and Perry responded with requests for info and videos. It turned out that the XDR freehub came out of the ratchet gear. I inserted it back in and all is great now. You can see and hear the wheels on my YouTube channel.
ICAN ships from an Amazon wharehouse in California. The wheels are well protected in the box. Mine came with thru axles, tubeless rim tape. I'm a happy customer.

ICAN is a well known Chinese brand that has been selling internationally for years. Nothing wrong with their products. Likewise with Winspace, Farsports, Light Bicycle, etc. All these companies are based in Xiamen, the carbon bike manufacturing center of China.

I had ICAN wheels 50mm RIM brake few years ago and did about 30K km on them. Zero issue. Even the brake track was still good.
If I was shopping for new wheelset, I would not hesitate. Its a well known brand and they actually have proper customer support.

I have a set of 35mm ICAN carbon wheels (rim brake).
Price was great, delivery fairly quick from wherever in Asia they shipped from to Australia. Got around 10,000km on them so far with no issues.

A buddy got some ICANs. They seem to be a step above the Superteam or unbranded Chinese carbon clinchers that I've owned.

Everyone's reviews convinced me to try a set, but they seem to be hard to find with an XDR hub
