    Price Paid:  $1200.00 at MainStreetCycles Wes

    Favorite Ride:
    St Charles Cafe Ride

    Bike Setup:
    BMC Sram Red

    Summary:
    I weigh 170 pounds and have yet to true the wheels after two years. I have not babied these wheels in any way. They are very light, fast to accelerate, and smooth. I rode the Mag 300 in Majorca Spain where the roads vary in quality and had no problems.

    Strengths:
    Light weight

    Weaknesses:
    Not much in rotational mass, so I feel like I work harder to keep up in the flats versus a heavier wheel like Mavic Carbone

    Summary:
    Phenomenal ride feel, fast as heck, light as heck. Terrific wheels. Have black sapim spokes on for 1985 tubular weight.

    Strengths:
    Impreccable wheel.

    Weaknesses:
    Delicate as hell. I am 140 pounds, and within one month, the rim wobbled. So even hitting the slightest of even roads, will mess this wheel up. AC did finally fix it, but after saying that it was my fault. That, I didn't like. So if you're using this for a one day race, fine.Everyday, don't even think about it.
