Strengths:    Lightweight. Engagement seems adequate. They roll :-)

Weaknesses:    Freehub bearing went rough on rear hub after just 1,500 miles. Probably just a bad bearing or bad seal, but still an issue. Velocity is a local company where I live so a replacement bearing at no cost was available the next day through my lbs. Will follow up again to see if same problem arises.

Bottom Line:   
Nice looking set up hubs built up on Velocity Aerohead rims with Sapim spokes. Weight came in at 1,420 grams on the lbs scale w/o skewers. W/skewers the weight was 1,525.
