Strengths: Hubs, bearings, true, light and snappy, inexpensive, comfortable, super nice rolling.... Excellent wheelset.Weaknesses: Rear spoke broke after 7 years and 20k plus miles. Was thinking these things were indestructible. Almost is pretty good tho.Bottom Line: Seven years, probably 20,000 plus miles on these Protons, and finally had to replace bearing cones in front and broke a rear spoke! These wheels are superb. Super comfortable, perfectly true for 7 years (until spoke broke) and I use these on my brevet bike which I carry lots of stuff and do lots of long, cold and wet rides on. Very impressed with these wheels. Too bad they are not in the line up anymore!
Favorite Ride: Any touring or randonnering ride

Strengths: Strong, light, and damn snappyWeaknesses: pawl spring is a bit breakable if you catch it with a rag or odd itemBottom Line: I beat these wheels. I use them on my cross bike and on my road bike year round. I can't seem to kill them. I put thousands of miles on them and they keep breaking (stopping) when they should. As for staying true, I haven't had to put them on the rack yet. I've hit some major rocks and gone at bad angles. They do not quit.

Strengths: Built tough but light and low profile design. Easy to rebuild the wheel/replace spokes if ever needed.Weaknesses: Noisy freehub, a Campy design signature kinda like a Harly. A major pain to mount on tires, seems like is this also another Campy trademark.Bottom Line: Great wheels if you can still find a set. I hit a major pothole at 15mph, which moved my handlebars and I thought cracked my frame. Final inspection showed zero damage to the frame and stem. Upon inspection of the wheels, I thought they where toast but a more visual inspection revealed no damge what so ever. I will be committed to Campagnolo Wheelset Forever....

Strengths: Campy Bearings
Perfectly true
Wheels strenght...can take anything I'm 220lbs
RollingWeaknesses: No longer in campy line-upBottom Line: This wheelset is fantastic, it is old school and not fancy, but the way it feels it is just smooth. Bearings are fantastics and roll forever, the rims are very strong and can take any terrain, potholes, etc with no problem.

Strengths: Acceleration, smoothness.Weaknesses: None so far.Bottom Line: I only have about 1000 miles on these since my kids have cut down my weekend rides, and I'm not a racer, but I ride +-3000 miles a year and these wheels are fast! I previously rode this frame with Bontrager Race Lites and these wheels are clearly a big cut above the Bontragers. I don't have a lot of experience with very high end wheels but these are a much better value, I think, than the Mavics I was considering.
