Strengths: Strong rims and hubs.Weaknesses: Rubbish spokes, heavy for the price range. Have to spend money on spare free wheels, too week an alloy used in their construction.Bottom Line: I have used the wheelset the last few months and ridden about 1000km on them. I have broken two spokes in that time. One on the front wheel, I have never broken a front wheel spoke. The other broken spoke was on the rear wheel drive side, which is more typical. I cannot find these spokes anywhere, do not believe what DT say about having off the shelf spokes on this wheel. I have tried surfing the net everywhere to get some spares, if you have any ideas please let me know. I even tried emailing DT Swiss to see if they could help me to locate spare spokes, never even got a reply back from them. Wheels now look funny with super wide spokes and half sizers in between. On the plus side, the rims are very strong, but you pay the price in in how heavy they are. Where the wheel shines is in the hubs, great hubs. Only problem I have noticed with the hubs is that the free wheel, being light aluminium, gets munched by the cluster (cogs) very quickly and makes changing clusters a pain. It also looks bad. I would give these a 2.5 out of 5 but I will round the score to a two because DT did not respond to my email - bad service.

Strengths: Great build quality with strong rims and fantastic hubs.Weaknesses: Decals are a little lame in the durability area but look nice on the bike.Bottom Line: This wheelset is excellent! I live in south Florida so the wheight was not a huge issue. These wheels roll very nicely and do not flex under my 200lb body. I would highly recommend these wheels to anyone looking for a strong, excellent quality wheel.
The hubs are extremely tight when I first used them, making them feel slow but they loosen up after a few hundred miles. For those of you who are put off by the weight, I would reconsider. They are a little sluggish at first but once up to speed, they perform beautifully.
