What does Queensland Academy of Sports rider Jesse Kerrison have to say.?

Schnell carbon wheels
I’ve ridden the Schnell podiums since last year’s
Tour of Gippsland, and have done thousands of racing K’s through all conditions
on them, and they still ride like there brand new. Stiff and light, they
accelerate through any corner and up any hill with every single ounce of power
being transferred into the road. When sprinting there’d be no other wheel I’d
choose to use.

BRAD WALL WINS I.M W.A AND A KONA SLOT ON SCHNELL WHEELS..!
To the guys at SCHNELL
can’t thank you enough for your support in
providing me with this superior wheelset for Ironman Western Australia. I found
the wheels to be light and responsive and fared very well in the windy
conditions experienced on race day. I take my gear selection very seriously and
I would not hesitate in recommending these wheels to anyone looking to improve
their bike split. I felt great getting off the bike and recorded a personal best
marathon time which resulted in me winning the 25-29 age group. I look forward
to racing on a set of SCHNELL wheels in Kona next year. Thanks again Karl for
your support

The voice of Cycling "Mr Phil Liggitt" rides on Schnell Carbon Wheels again during the 2012 T.D.U.
Last year at the Australian Road Championships Phil Liggitt enquired about our wheels. He had seen them at the Bay Crits and noticed some of the riders at the Championships were on Schnell. He rode a set of our wheels during the 2011 T.D.U morning rides and just had to have a set. He continues to ride on them whenever he can and has reported that he loves them. Great work Phil. It was good to see you at the T.D.U again this year and we all love your race calling. Keep up the good work.!
A word from Andy Tyack after finishing 2nd in his first ever Full Ironman..!
I became aware of Schnell Carbon Wheels through LSDsports.com and in the lead up to Busselton 70.3 I was
offered the opportunity to ride Schnell Wheels - an opportunity I could not refuse! I was very impressed with the wheels during the 90km ride and they helped to me a 2.11 bike split. What I was most impressed with is how fresh my legs felt after a fast ride and I was able to run a PB half marathon off the bike and finished in an overall time of 4.10.
My next major race was Ironman WA, where the bike course is flat, fast and windy so wheel selection is very important.After
an great experience with Schnell Wheels at Busselton 70.3, I needed these wheels to tackle Ironman WA!The bike course has three distinct sections; Layman Road which has a nice smooth road surface, Forrest Beach Road which is slightly undulating with a coarse surface and Tuart Drive which is a flat section also with a coarse
surface.I used the Racelite 60 on the front and Sniper II Disc on the back which proved to be the optimal wheel choice for me during the 180km.
The 60mm front wheel allowed me to control my bike in the windy conditions without the worry of being buffeted.The Sniper II Disc has been developed with vibration cancellation technology (VCT) and with rough road surface on part of the course allowed me to get off the bike feeling fresh.Schnell Carbon Wheels helped me to a 4.46 bike split (2nd fast age group bike split) and an overall time of 9.21 on debut!
At both Busselton 70.3 and Ironman WA I got off the bike and was able to run with no fatigue in my legs. The vibration cancellation technology Karl has developed and implemented in the wheels allows for a smooth comfortable ride on any road surface.
Simply put, Schnell = Fast!
Cheers,
Andy

International Tour success for SCHNELL Sponsored rider "Emma Bilston "
Thursday, 27 October 2011
14 year old Australian Pursuit Champion Emma Bilston has just returned from
her first international cycling tour. The tour yielded much success. Emma raced
in the 2011 Yunca Junior Tour of Southland which was held over 3 days and 6
stages in New Zealand. Over 180 riders from all over New Zealand and Australia
took to the highways of New Zealand’s Southland in what is fast becoming one of
the premier junior racing events in Australasia. The Stage 4 road race covering 34kms featured one of Emma’s most dominant performances. Emma broke away from the main bunch and used her time trialling abilities to finish one and half minutes in front of her closest rival. She then increased her general classification lead out to 2'20 and it was then that she realised that only disaster in the last 2 stages could stop her taking a yellow Yunca jersey home with her to Australia. Emma eventually won the yellow jersey and overall general classification by 2’28. Emma also took the ‘Queen of the Mountain’ jersey, the ‘Sprint” jersey and was also awarded the most outstanding rider of the tour to end one of her most successful tours to date. After a day of rest Emma then took to the track in the ILT Track Cycling Festival which was held on the ILT Velodrome over 3 days as part of the Junior Trans-Tasman challenge. Continuing her outstanding form Emma won 6 of her 9 races adding more prize money to her collection.
Well done Emma!

Peter "KILLER" Herzig from Team Budget Forklifts is K.O.M in Tour of Geelong Riding SCHNELL Podiums.!
Wow what a Tour it was in the Tour of Geelong. Budget forklifts nearly lost 2 riders on day 1. Ryan MacAnally and Darcy Rosenlund both had bad crashes in the terrible conditions on day 1 in the Crit.
Poor Ryan was caught out by another crash in the 1st Rd stage and Bryan Mcleod crashed heavily in the Anakie Rd stage. Luck wasn't on their side this time round. But Peter Herzig pulled out all stops on the Anakie road stage and led for nearly 2 full laps. We couldn't believe it at nearly all K.O.M 1st places Peter was named again, and again, and again over the race radio. Congrats Peter on your well earned KING Status.

It Was great to see Michael on the Podium in Gippsland after 5 days of hard racing . Budget Forklifts chased the points to put Micheal slightly ahead and receive a well earned 3rd place.
Great work guys.!
Great work guys.!
Young solo rider Ryan MacAnally Podiums Twice at the Tour of Gippsland Riding SCHNELL for the first time.
A young rider from QLD contacted me and was interested to try SCHNELL wheels. He rode them at the Tour of Gippsland and collected two 3rd places and two 4th places. An amazing result for a young solo rider in the NRS Series against a bunch of Team riders. Well done Ryan.!

Bade Stapleton C.E.O of "Connect Sport Australia" is a leading sports and athlete manager and promotional guru. He called me to see what all the fuss was about with SCHNELL Carbon Wheels.
Bade Stapleton I ended up drinking a large cup of "Harden Up" and headed out for my ride. Was dry til Frankston and then got soaked through to the bone. Good news is that my new Schnell wheels were awesome! Was out the front all day and they just sliced through the wind beautifully. Great wheels and I'd highly recommend them!
Crazy ride on the bike today. Decided it was a good idea to take a few hours off and head down to Two Bays Rd and back. The 60kmph head wind made it feel like I was riding up a mountain all the way home! Thank God for my new Schnell Carbon Wheels to help carve my way through the wind.

WHAT DOES BRENDAN COLE FROM "TEAM BUDGET FORKLIFTS" HAVE TO SAY ABOUT SCHNELL CARBON WHEELS..? Please read on........
Hey Karl,
Thanks for the wheels and the company.
First wheel review ever and I had best provide some info about myself as I'm not the usual rider. Last year i was a
track sprinter, but decided to go back to road, I am now weighing in at around 86 kg, which is a lot more then the typical cyclist, and to give you an idea in a 30 second wingate test I pushed out a maximum of 2300 watts, needless to say wheels really get tested under me. In regards to carbon wheels i had previously used zipp 303's, token t50a's and a custom made set, consisting of a 80mm rear and a 58 mm front. The zipps didnt fair to well under me, they are light and roll really well, but they just couldnt take my weight and/ or power, when i stood up and went, the wheel would flex side to side and by the end of the race I had some decent gouges out of my frame on either side. The tokens were pretty solid wheels, although this definitely showed in the weight, and they werent the best rolling wheels by any measure, also the 50mm depth could get a bit
uncomfortable in the wind. Lastly the cutom made wheels, these were chosen when i was still doing track, horrendous in the wind due to the depth, and honestly
werent that stiff, I could still make them flex quite alot also, although nowhere near as bad as the zipps.
Then came the Schnells...
I rode a podium 38 front wheel, and a podium 50 rear with a double crossed spoke pattern. When you put the schnells in they just feel that much faster. Higher
speeds take quite a lot less effort, and you get to coast a lot more, what you want in race wheels. Due to the lower profile front wheel, these are really
suited to any conditions, windy or not, tour of toowoomba was the perfect example, other teams on their deep rims were being blown everywhere but Budget
had it really easy with the schnells, the lower profile and light weight rims are also great for the hills, with even me, one of the heaviest riders,
noticing an increase in climbing. And lastlly the strength, the schnells really are strong, lasting well under me, no buckles, no brake rub, and if you had
seen some of the roads in the tour you would be truly impressed. An awesome set
of wheels. Schnell=Fast

Team Budget Forklifts and Team Zipvit are riding SCHNELL Podium wheels..!
It was fitting that the race started at the Windsor Hotel in Miles, with team member Blair unable to make the trip. It was good to see a nice hard crit circuit, similar to the Scody Cup races of Gippsland and the Murray. My heart rate was through the roof early on in the crit, but I went in a few breaks and started a few also. The boys rode really well with Macca and Darcy picking up the primes with help from the others. After 35mins we kept it together well and started controlling on the front from
41mins. It was reminiscent of an HTC lead out by me, Mick, Mike and Macca. Unfortunately Woody and Darcy were not quite in the train. Cupitt led into the
last corner with Peter Thompson on his wheel. The boys kicked hard to take 2nd and 4th but just started a bit far back. Still a good result and teamwork was
working well. read more here - http://www.budgetforklifts.com.au/news.php?id=75

Andrew Tyack age group Triathlete gets his best result EVER on SCHNELL Carbon wheels with a 2nd place at Besselton 70.3..!
Busselton 70.3 - My best race to date!
The Busselton 70.3 (as it is now known) is the biggest race on the Triathlon WA calendar each year. This year was no exception! With a sold out field of 1,400 individuals and 200 teams the atmosphere down in Busso was great
We arrived on Thursday lunch time and checked into our house. WOW....It was amazing! I sure hope that will be our regular Busselton house from now on! Lisa and I helped Ian set up the XU1 Sports tent at the Expo before heading back home for my Birthday dinner :-) (I am now 22!)
On Friday Lisa and I went for a short ride out on the course and I also snuck in a quick run. It was then back ot the Expo to help sell some CEEPO bikes! We spent the day there (not ideal pre race prepeartion) with the exception of a short swim the the Eclipse Fitness Squad. We were lucky enough to have CEEPO sponsored athletes Belinda and Justin Granger stop by the tent and leave their bikes on display which was great!
I was lucky enough to use a set of Schnell Race wheels thanks to Karl Hardy from Schnell (also a sponsor of Team LSDsports.com). A quick change
and gear tune up and these bad boys where ready to roll!

FROM Martin Z (A.C.T) Reporting on his new SCHNELL Wheels.
Karl,
Used the wheels on Saturday for a nice 160km ride to Goulburn, great trial run as we get a bit of wind around Lake George so it was a great opportunity to learn the extremes I can use the wheels in.
Wheels performed amazingly. To date my longest ride has been 120km and I was stuffed afterward whereas on the new wheels I felt I could have easily done another 50+ km’s. Legs felt great the day after so the effort to ride at 30km+ per hour was defiantly reduced. The other thing I noticed was the wheels responsiveness the harder I worked the more I got out of the wheels. It felt at times like the wheels actually responded to me putting more power through them.
Anyway very happy.
Regards,
Martin
Thanks for the feedback Martin. The Wheels Look a treat..! We are so glad you are happy with them. Happy Riding. SCHNELL=FAST

Wow what a ride at Dookie but you might say why make such a fuss about a third placing. Well Alex rode with a broken wrist and couldn't stand up at all to climb the hills.
Imagine what he would have done if he could stand up on the pedals..!
Great effort Alex.

Alex was the most impressive rider of the weekend. He rode the SCHNELL Sniper I Disk to the fastest TT time of the event....During all Road stages he rode on the SCHNELL Racelite 38T and Dominated."A funny thing happened when he went to claim his prize, the officials didn't believe the posted time and needed confirmation by the timing officials that it was correct" Alex rode a faster overall time in stage 2 and 3 than the A Grade Field .! ;-) Fantastic riding Alex you have the makings of a true Champion Good luck over the season.

Read here what "Alex Morgan" has to say about the SCHNELL Carbon Wheels
Hey Karl,
Below's a review of the Schnell wheels I've ridden thus far. 38t: Fantastic for general road racing. They're super light, respond to every accelleration and I love descending/cornering on them. They fly up the climbs, best all round road wheels I've ridden. Sniper 1 Disc: Felt like I was floating on the road! Once I got up to speed that wheel wasn't slowing down anytime soon! Super stiff out of the seat and saved me that valuable time that won me the A Grade TT at the Tour of Bright.
88T Track: Really aerodynamic and stiff. Perfect for general track racing. Responded straight away to my every accelleration and kept me going! Cheers, Alex Morgan
