    Price Paid:  $575.00 at eBay

    Favorite Ride:
    Fast 40

    Bike Setup:
    '09 Cannondale SuperSix HiMod with BB30, ceramic BB.

    Summary:
    This is a review on performance. Too soon to say about reliability.
    In a word, WOW! Smooth, and fast. It accelerates like a there's no tomorrow and roll forever. I have looked at my computer, and am amazed each time how fast I am going without feeling any effort I typically have to exert above 20mph IN A HEAD WIND!! My pulls at the front become easier and longer as they seem to cheat the wind extremely well. Extra slim rims and tiny spokes and excellent hubs are the winning lightweight combo for these hoops. There's a reason these hubs are resold on $2K+ wheels.
    I've just replaced my faithful Mavic Elites after 10K miles, and I didn't realize I would get that much gain.
    The weight limit says 200lbs, but with weight fluctuation I would say a max of 185lbs. If you're shopping for fast light wheels, I can't see a reason these shouldn't be in your final 2 or 3.

    Strengths:
    Silky Smooth, blazing fast, extremely light. Look nice

    Weaknesses:
    Decals won't last long. Wheels don't feel as solid as my workhorse Mavic Elites. But these hubs can be the trunk to another great set if I had to rebuild them.

    Bike Setup:
    giant tcr advanced 07, ultegra

    Summary:
    Bought new and arrived with signed card - handbuilt by dt swiss. Went severely out of true after 100 miles. Took to LBS and tension was all over the place. Had trued and is again out of true after one hour ride. I am 160lbs and ride on smooth roads.

    Other than that, they are really smooth, plenty stiff, accelerate and handle beautifully. Hopefully i can get this issue sorted out.

    Strengths:
    Nice looking
    stiff
    handling
    smooth

    Weaknesses:
    out of true twice in under 120 miles.
    stickers already peeling and tearing.

    Bike Setup:
    Trek Pilot 2.1 , Shimano 105 and ultegra, bontrager and B race , Continental 4000 tires, shimano ultegra brakes, koolstop pads, jagwire cables

    Summary:
    Perfect wheels...... super light & super smooth, ultra stiff and responsive, yet provide a comfortable ride. By far the best wheels I 've ever had. Hi spoke count makes them strong and durable. the 240 hubs with quad bearings are stable and smooth. If there is any deflection its' not noticable. handles hard cornering like the bike is on rails.

    strong , reliable, smooth, responsive, solid breaking performance, excellent handling and cornering

    Weaknesses:
    None found
