Strengths: Look awesome, aerodynamics, easy to change tiresWeaknesses: aerodynamics, brake wear indicator, durability(??)Bottom Line: I got a set of these for a steal to use as one (of 2) pair of wheels for training. The materials and quality of manufacturing seem to be pretty good. Getting tires on & off them is easy compared to some other wheels I've owned. The aero rim profile with aero spokes and red hubs look AWESOME. There's a definite advantage over other non-aero wheels when the speed climbs (on still days). But they're also affected more dramtically in side or cross winds. Not so much that it'll knock you over, but you do have to take it into account.
I've only put 500 miles on these wheels so far, but there's been no failures or broken spokes. I did notice that when hammering out of the saddle, the rear wheel seems to ping as if the tenstion on the spokes isn't even. It's most noticable while going up hills. I took it to my LBS, and they said it was still true and the spokes were tensioned ok, but they retensioned them anyways. The wheel is still true, but I still get the pinging noise. I weight 170lbs, so I don't think that's the issue.
I'm not a fan of the break wear indicator these come with as that's a little more material that would allow for quicker braking. Like mentioned before, I havent had any failures at this point, but that pinging noise has me a bit concerned about durability.
Overall I'm happy with these wheels so far, although for the regular retail price I think there's better options out there. If you can get them for a steal like I did, I think you'll be happy with them.
