Price Paid:  $250.00 at ebay

Favorite Ride:
Chicago lakefront at dawn

Bike Setup:
2007 Cervelo R3 with Ultegra

Summary:
Very sorry to hear that these wheels are going out of production. I have found them to be fast and bombproof. I am hard on equipment and have ridden these wheels down from 250lbs to 220lbs over 3500 miles, slamming into innumerable potholes in the process. I did manage to break a spoke once but that was as the result of a crash. There are faster more expensive wheels out there but they tend to be less robust and/or overly specialized -- I don't have the time or the inclination to run a fleet of wheels for each and every occasion! If you want a decent set of "do it all" wheels, Circuits are hard to beat.

Strengths:
Unbelievably good all round wheels and extremely strong.

Weaknesses:
Replacing the T3 spokes is not straightforward. If your lbs doesn't carry them it helps to have spares. Also: I have never had to deal with Easton's customer service but I never seem to hear anything good about it...

any place without cars

Bike Setup:
Trek 5000 (the original), full ultegra 10

These wheels are fast without any doubt. If you are strong you can detach any body from your rear well. However, just after 3 months of a decent use the rear hub felt apart.

Strengths:
very fast and strong rims

Weaknesses:
rear hub

Favorite Ride:
Old Glenrock Highway

Bike Setup:
Douglas Matrix full Dura-ace and Easton Circuits

Summary:
Great wheels they roll great and appear to be fairly fast. They hard holdin up really well and have stayed true. I ave hit some huge holes due to the beginning or construction season and the wheels have just taken them without flinching.

Strengths:
Roll great, look good, and hold up over any of the bumps the road came give them.

Weaknesses:
could be a little lighter but for the money they are great

Price Paid:  $0.00 at LBS

Favorite Ride:
Seenite Crit

Bike Setup:
Giant TCR C3 - full 105, oval concepts stem, Hutchinson tires

Summary:
Excellent wheels, very strong, reasonable weight and good aerodynamic shape that doesn't get pushed around except in huge cross winds.

Strengths:
Very strong - I'm usually hard on wheels and these have never had to be touched except after a crash. I really think the 3T design is excellent.
