Hi Brian,
Thanks for getting me the wheel so quickly. I was able to get it glued up and race ready for this last weekend (1-2 December 2018). It was very fast and helped me win the C4-Para Pursuit National Championship.
I’m selling everything I can find right now to come up with the cash to buy a rear and some fast tires for our worlds selection event at the end of January. Hopefully I’ll be in touch soon.
Thank you again for all your help.
Kind regards,
Jason
I broke a world record for the para C5 flying 200m last Thursday (6th Dec 2018) using your wheels, I wasn’t able to officially claim it because anti doping were not there to take a sample but I’m working on organising an official attempt in the new year. Just thought I’d let you know.
All the best
Blaine
My feedback on the wheels is as follows … AMAZING … seriously, they exceeded expectations. The disc is light and responsive and a dream to ride in all conditions but what really surprised me were the deep fronts. They slice the wind and even in crosswinds they are barely noticeable as they handle it well. I haven’t used them in lanzarote style gusty xwinds which are expected to have a dire effect on handling but I also feel they will handle them with the best of the lot.
Josué Sáenz de AndrésThank you for inviting me to comment on the wheels.
I purchased the 50mm Fleet Clincher set, and also upgraded to a carbon hub. I can’t offer comparisons to other carbon wheels as your wheels are the first set of carbon wheels I have purchased.
I love the wheels. Smooth, very fast, and good braking. As an added bonus, they look great. I’ve certainly attracted some very positive comments from fellow triathletes looking at my bike in the transition area (see pic).
Delivery service also very good, and the wheels were packed and secure within the delivery package. I’m certainly recommending the wheels to my friends at my local tri club. Keep up the good work
They are the first set of aero wheels I have had, ultimately my average speed is up at least 1-2mph since starting to use the wheels. If you like riding fast they are quite simply great. On top of this they look great, I bought 40mm clincher wheels black with black decals and they look like a ‘stealth’ wheel.
I very impressed with the build and being able to buy locally. I have pals who have paid substantially more for carbon wheels from likes of Mavic and the quality of the Mavic wheels isn’t as good and they weigh more.
Nice attention to detail and a competitive price too. 10 out of 10 for me.
Richard WoodI’ve been a keen cyclist for a number of years and participate in a number of varying cycling events from sportive to local amateur TT…most miles however are on my club rides.
I wanted a carbon wheel upgrade that ‘suited all’ but performed well in what ever I did. The advice you gave me was informative, balanced and made absolute sense being able to describe characteristics in detail.
Walker Bros provided a personal and knowledgable service which made me feel confident in the product and offered a bespoke service allowing me to choose and personalise my purchase. The wheel set they provided ticks all my boxes and offers features above a comparable market. The lightness and strength offers a very responsive ride whilst the build quality and finish delivers exactly what a rider is looking for in terms of a cycling investment.
The level of service I have received through out has been superb and I have sensed an exacting attention to detail to the highest standard. I have already recommended Walker Bros to my club member colleagues.
Phil BarrettMy wheels arrived safely had them for a spin today and they are definitely giving me at least 1 to 2 mph extra! Great I will do my best to do them proud in Ironman Dublin.
Great to hear from you. The wheels are fantastic, so smooth. Just got back from Chicago competing in the World Championships. Not only did they attract a lot of attention the helped to to a 30 minute 20KM for the bike leg.
Brilliant, couldn’t recommend them more and for the money, even better
Mike KazerThe first impressions are that it is a very smooth and quiet wheel and very controlled. Compared to people riding a zipp disc or something else, nobody knows I am coming, which is a nice thing. It a very comfortable wheel, and I have full confidence in it now for all things. I am primarily a sprinter, so I was a bit apprehensive at first throwing it at full speed into flying 200s and other fast and high-G force applications. I am fully committed now with this wheel and just broke my PB by 4 tenths this week, even when I was hungover, had a bad line, was very shaky etc. so for sure the wheel is very fast. In fact, the very first time I used it was in a regular pace-line session and after warming up I switched over to the disc. I caused all kinds of issues with the paceline as I kept coming out of the corners ssooooo fast. It took some adjustment, but it was very readily evident the extra speed it was providing. Very happy with things so far. Good luck with the continued development of your products.

David Willer PHDHello Brian, have been using the fabulous wheels you supplied me for a couple of months now and the results are just fantastic. I must admit I got a bit of a shock first time out on the boards as I under estimated the speed and acceleration these babies had over my previous wheels. They spin up and hold speed so well that I found myself on the pedals trying to avoid running into the guys in front of me. They look absolutely magic on the bike and perform the same on the track. Sprinting is much more controlled as the bike is far more stable under efforts and they track dead straight. My times have come down as a result of the performance of the wheels and I can’t ignore the added confidence they have given me. Getting plenty of feedback from the guys who can’t get over the quality of the finish. Great result Brian I could not be happier and thanks again for the advice through the selection and purchasing process. Overall an awesome experience. Cheers
Russell WieckAesthetically, they’re awesome! I got quite a bit of attention for the build and the wheels in particular got a few “very nice” comments. Even my teammate who’s a London 2012 track silver medalist and had a set of Enve’s on her bike was very interested in my wheels.

Richard WoodFantastic wheels! I’m really pleased with them so far, and have hit some great times using them. No issues with cross winds, even in bad weather and even with the 86mm. A really enjoyable ride.
Best regards
Phil
Philip GossThank you very much for supplying the mixed set of of 600 / 800 wheels. They have made there journey very efficiently all the way to Abu Dhabi. They ride beautifully, beyond my expectations. The service received from Walker Brothers was excellent.
Thank you
Darren SandersThese wheels are the bomb! Not really much else to say, they look beautiful and the choice between white or black decals is a great idea. They make my tri bike look sexier (and more professional) and that adds another percent or two of confidence when you’re heading to the race line. They sound awesome too and that delightful “whoosh” seems to inspire you when you’re riding alone. Even if only perception, these can only be good things to add to the overall package!
Mark HigginbothamHaving spent many years racing on the track, indoors, outdoors, around the UK and the world, I have used many different race wheels. Wheels that I have used throughout my time are the usual brands like Mavic, Corima, Fast Forward, Pro and various others. As established brands, you would expect them to perform well. And they do.
However, in 2015 I came across Walker Brothers and their Revo 1 disk wheels and 5 spoke front wheel I can whole heartedly say that these wheels are as competitive, if not better than the leading brands and definitely rival the kit at the Olympic level.
In all, I am finding that the wheels are strong, lightweight, aerodynamic and agile and I look forward to putting them on my bike for every race in this upcoming 2016/17 track season and beyond. I love my Walker Brothers wheels and I am confident that everyone else will too!
Matt RotherhamHi Brian
Hope you are well.
Apologies for not reverting sooner. The wheels have been fantastic, I probably used them a little too much in training but I enjoyed them so much and they stood up remarkable well to the Kent/ Sussex roads and hills. I raced them at the Swashbuckler in May and averaged 34kmph for the 90K and again for my A race, IM Maastrict, where before the rain set in I was averaging 33+kmph but slowed in the deluge to a respectful 31kph over 180K. Got off bike feeling good and recorded a 11hr 20min for 1st IM, which I am very pleased with.
Thanks again and I understand you have another review pending in Triathlon 220, I hope this reflects my experience: 1st class.
All the best
