Strengths: Solid value, will build into a light and strong wheel. Nice finish, attractive design, good braking surface.Weaknesses: Eyelet holds nipple pretty tight, turning the spokes can be a little tough when lacing these up.Bottom Line: I laced these up 3-cross to my Campy Record-10 hubs using 14/15 comp spokes. So far these rims are great, haven't needed to take a spoke wrench to them once. I run 180lbs. Living in a city I encounter lots of potholes and go off a curb sometimes. I can stop effectively with these and can scrub speed on a downhill faster than some lighter guys on fancier rides which gives me a lot of confidence. I would recommend these rims and would build another wheelset with them in the future.
Favorite Ride: any ride
Purchased At: Colorado Cyclist
Similar Products Used: various road and mtn rims over the last 25 years, mostly Mavic (which also rock)
Bike Setup: Steel (custom) frame, Campy Record 10

Strengths: - good looking
- resonable price
- low weightWeaknesses: - prone to cracking around eyelets
Bottom Line: If you are looking for strong and reliable rim stay away from this rim, at least single eyelet version. As many here mine developed cracks soon after built and after a minor crash few spokes pulled nipples entirely out of the rim.

Strengths: Subtle graphics; strong, light enough; long life.Weaknesses: None yet.Bottom Line: 1.1 rims, Competition spokes, 240s hubs. Bought these built by Joe Young based on his recommendation from my input. Solid wheels and hubs. Black fits with the bike. Smooth and true as the day they arrived (shipped to Japan). They have certainly handled their "Oh, sh*t!" BANGS while riding. I have recommended Joe and DTs since receiving them in forums. Bought these and Ksyrium ESs then resold the Ksyriums. Mavic hubs didn't match up with DTs and Mavic spokes scared me because of their limited-ness. Mine are 28 spokes front/rear; I'm 145 lbs. No wobble, etc climbing hills. No issue with weight but Joe convinced me in email these would be stronger than Ksyriums, just as light and last a lot longer. SO far so good. Just one spoke tightened in a few thousand miles. Total confidence flying down hills.
Favorite Ride: Mix of terrain
Price Paid:
$700.00
Purchased At: Joe Young
Similar Products Used: Ksyrium ESs. Ritchey Pro Aero WCS.
Bike Setup: Campy Record full carbon; De Rosa Team.
