Strengths: Very strong. Great for climbing.Weaknesses: NoneBottom Line: I just had to replace my neutron wheelset ...after 6 years. I had the rims trued once during that time. I ride Ultra and Rando and the road conditions can be dicey at times. They are the only wheels I have. I weigh over 200 lbs.

Strengths: Light, low rotational weight - fast spin up, smooth and quiet, very low maintenance.Weaknesses: Spoke placement will make truing a challenge - academic at this point as I have not had to.Bottom Line: Looked at Zipps, Reynolds, Mavics etc etc. Chose these due to the general reviews of light weight as good climbing wheels, low maintenance needs.
The low rotational weight, bladed spokes and slim profile make them good all-round condition wheels.
Paired them with Vittoria Open Corsas and light weight tubes so they ride very nicely and comfortably while being easy to accelerate.
I weigh 150 lbs, only have slightly over 1K miles on them, so they are relatively new and I cannot speak to real longevity.
Favorite Ride: Anything pointing upward.
Purchased At: Bike shop I work at

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

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...
Favorite Ride: Adelaide to Hahndorf or Sprinbrook
