Strengths:
Spins real fast
Biggg bang for the buck
Stiff rear considering hub size
Still true since the day i took it out of the boxWeaknesses: Doesn't like cross wind (especially with lighter rider)
braking surface is small and isn't as tackyBottom Line: This set has been my do-it-all set for almost 2 years now. I trained on it, climbed on it, did crit, went for solo break, time trialed with it till i got a 404 and it never fails me once. It climb real fast for its weight, hold speed real nice and surprisingly stiff when it comes to sprint and hill attacks. The hub is real stiff and spins super smooth.
The only few problems i have with it are, firstly, the braking surface is quite small so you have to be real careful setting up the pads and it doesn't manage cross wind as well as other rounder profile wheels. Secondly the braking surface is real smooth unlike other milled braking surface which makes the wheel a lil harder to slow down but its not that serious if you have a good clean pads. Well to conclude, i still love them every time i go out riding. BTW the decals still look new after 2 years.

Strengths: Ride, Rolling resistance.Weaknesses: None so far.Bottom Line: Upgraded from the Mavic CXP22s that came on the Roubaix. I can't believe the transformation in the bike. Riding in my weekend pace line I now have to brake when everyone else just stops peddling. The wheels just want to keep rolling. I also have a bad back which is why I went with the Robauix frame. These wheels are only slightly harsher than much heavier the CPX22s triple cross rims. Very impressed with the ride and performance of the 420s.
Favorite Ride: Specialized Roubaix SL2

Strengths: - Good Aero
- Very Light
- Looks goodWeaknesses: - Strength
- brakingBottom Line: Ok I paired these up with pro race 3's and was really impressed with the results. Climbing they are neutral, but flats and down hill they are out right amazing. Over a 20 mile mixed course in California I added an average of 2 mph to my average speed. On the flats and down hills they will give about a 4 mph boost over the fulcrums and about 3 mph over the mavics. I am a bigger guy at 5'11'/6'0' and 175 - 185 lbs (aiming to get to 165 this season) the roads out here suck and even though they are rated for 220 lbs I still hit them out of true quite often. That being said if i just rode on nice roads they would be fine. The other issue I have is that the braking performance is spotty at best. I have very little confindence braking; it seems like they are constantly fading.
