    Price Paid:  $0.00

    Bike Setup:
    Cervelo RS frame
    Shimano Dura Ace groupset.
    Bontrager stem and bars.
    SLR saddle.

    Summary:
    I have only ridden these once to date in a hilly race on the weekend. I have owned similar stye wheels in bontrager race x lites and Ksyrium ES recently.

    The Shimanos are stiffer and lighter than these other wheels and as aero/fast as the bontragers (the ESs aren't aero at all).

    Early days but so far I am very impressed.

    Strengths:
    Light (1410 g on my scales - not 1392 as marketed).
    Stiff.
    Aerodynanic (for a wheel of this kind at least)

    Weaknesses:
    Skewers are nice but not particularly light - I swapped mine with the bontrager skewers which were considerably lighter.
