Strengths: The 30mm-deep rims provide some aero-benefit and do not become a negative with the presence of cross-winds.
Vendor is outstanding: Had a problem with the free-hub and CaneCreek replaced without question.
The 16-DB-spoke-setup on the front is great.
The 28-back is stiff for a rider weighing 165lbs.
Bearing-action is smooth.
Straight-pull-spoke with nipples-on-the-hub-side is a great technical-feature for reducing centrifical-inertia.Weaknesses: Free-hub engagement appears to be slow. Likely due to choice of rear-hub-internals. Can update the free-hub to Dura Ace for some inprovement.
Would like to see the vendor consider other hub internals such as Hope and EDCO bearings.Bottom Line: Good price-point for performance. If all you do is ride then spend the money for either a pair of FIR/ANTARAS or ZIPP/404's. I'm a local-club-racer and ride less than 15 hours/week.
Favorite Ride: Thursday nite with my buds
Price Paid:
$450.00
Similar Products Used: Campagnola's Sydney-2000-rims mated with Ultegra hubset (32-spoke) - too heavy in comparison.

Strengths: Blue Ti spokes are cool looking along w/decals. Light front wheel. good aerodynamicsWeaknesses: Rear Ti rims feels flexy on fast decents.Bottom Line: I purchased the initial set after seeing them on display at the litespeed booth at the bike show. I was one of the first purchasers. Well the front Ti spokes kept popping and when they break the rim goes COMPLETELY out of TRUE. I angrily sent the set back and they sent me a 1999 set w/the new lighter hubs and only charged me shipping!! No problems since. cudos to CANE CREEK. GO W/THE TI spokes.
Favorite Ride: Simi Valley winter ride
Price Paid:
$500.00
Purchased At: city of bicycles
Similar Products Used: Mavic heliums
Bike Setup: Litespeed Vortex,dura ace, litespeed goodies, basically all top of the line stuff
