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

- 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.
