Summary:
A great set of wheels and a great value.

2000 Cannondale R4000 frame with Time ["Featherlite"] Sprint fork...all Ultegra components...Velomax Circuit Comp wheelset with Hutchinson Carbon Comp Gold Elite 23c tires [great performer & durable]...Selle San Marco Aspide saddle...

Summary:
Bought as a replacement for Matrix ISO-3 wheelset...started on
velomax wheelset at 246 lbs...was concerned if they would be bombproof and durable until I could drop weight...now at 206 lbs, they are still true. Decent wheelset for the money.

Strengths:
Smooth...great performer...durable.

Weaknesses:
Came with decals not pressed down on rim on the spoke side. This problem was easily remedied by heating the decals with a hair blower and pressing down.

Bike Setup:
Giant TCR composite

Summary:
I've used these wheels for 4000+ km and they have held up great. No truing, no adjustments needed at all. They are very stiff and accelerate well.

Strengths:
Stiff, light for the price, very reliable

Weaknesses:
None so far, could shed another 100-200g, but you'd have tp ay for that!

Price Paid:  $300.00 at ebay

Favorite Ride:
Any climb

Summary:
Very brief review because there is no reason to give a longer one. Over 6,000 miles on these wheels, never a problem!!! They're lighter than most wheels, a fair bit lighter than most semi-aero wheels, and stiff enough for me. Great for all-around training, riding, and racing. Am giving "only" a 4 on overall rating only because a 1200gm $1200 set of wheels would rate more highly "overall."

Strengths:
Never even needed truing. Easily maintained bearings. Great cust. service.

Weaknesses:
Lighter wheels exist...at 3-5 times the price!
