Strengths: Trouble free, durable, and stable at high speeds.Weaknesses: I really don't know of any at this time.Bottom Line: I bought these wheels used on ebay, so who knows how many original miles were already on them, but they were clean, and true.
I have since put over 12,000 miles on them, and have ridden them over some pretty bad stretches of road, and they are still true.
Every 6,000 miles I have broken the hubs down, cleaned, and regreased the bearings, with Phil Woods green grease. These wheels have been bomb proof and trouble free for me. I have hit speeds of 50 mph coming down Hwy 74, and they track and corner like they on are rails.
I can detect no signs of them wearing out yet.
There might be lighter wheels out there, but I think you would be hard pressed to find a more trouble free, and durable set.
Favorite Ride: Hwy 74 to Pinyan Crest campground
Price Paid:
$350.00
Purchased At: Ebay
Bike Setup: Cannondale Cadd 3 Saeco frame, with Campagnolo Chorus 10 speed.

Strengths: Light, Strong, Roll for ever.Weaknesses: none so farBottom Line: Bought these based on reviews here for my new Colnago Master Frame. Wanted Mavic's but got the Campy based on reviews here. Am just under 100 kg (215 lb) and pretty much destroy wheels. In six months they are still true and roll great. Rode them up Alp Du Huez last summer and some climbing in the region. Roll fantastic

Strengths: Fast, light, stiff, roll forever and ever and ever and ever.Weaknesses: See above..Bottom Line: Hmm,I loved these wheels until 2 days ago. I'm a relatively heavy guy, about 93 kg, and get involved in some sprints and club racing. Anyhow, the time came to get the wheels trued (spokes tensioned - they were straig as) and the LBS rang to tell me that the spoke nipples could not be moved, they had corroded such that they had effectively fused. They said that this is a relatively common issue with internal nipples, combine that with the fact that the spokes are stainliess, nipples are brass and rims are alloy and you get some interesting chemical reactions. The fact that I live across the road from the beach hasn't helped.
Anyhow, I was informed that it would cost AUD500 to re-spoke the wheels (AUD400 for the spokes COST) so I'm gonna get new ones, probably Neutrons again, but will endeavour to maintain them better. The LBS said that Mavics are very susceptible to this problem...

Strengths: Strong. Good on hills and flats. At the same time they are smooth enough for long wides, like double centuries.Weaknesses: coasting is a little noisyBottom Line: I've beat the crap out of these wheels. I don't pay attention to pot holes. I weigh over 200 pounds. I've never had to true the rims or service the bearings.
Favorite Ride: The last double I finished
