Strengths: Straight pull spokes, very strongWeaknesses: Weight - most sites list these wheels as being 1800g but they weighted 1957g on my wifes food scale with rim tapes - could be the weight of skewers.Bottom Line: A little on the heavy side but well built with nice design details and very robust. I bought these as cross wheels and after two races they are still perfectly straight. The wheels came true, round and well tensioned right from the box.
On a side note chucks bikes was excellent to deal with - wheels shipped right away and freight was reasonable with USPS Express (not usually the case for us in Canada)
Favorite Ride: Gatineau Park Loop

Strengths: The weight does not mean that I lose the other guys uphill, and it feels very solid... but, again, i've got little to compare with.Weaknesses: none. Except, they don't really have a bling factorBottom Line: I have had this wheelset for about 4 months, and, so far, there have been no major issues. I do not really have anything to compare with, but this wheelset is much better than my dad's Trek 1400's Bontrager Selects. It feels stiffer- I can carve into turns better.
Favorite Ride: any big hill around Brisbane
Similar Products Used: Bontrager Select, noname 650c wheels
Bike Setup: Alum Peugeot Helium frame with 105 gears (and TA 46t cyclocross chainring+15-25 casette becasue of gearing restrictions). FSA RD-88 wheels, Ultegra pedals, Vittoria tyres, and Blackburn Delphi computer

Strengths: Nice graphics that look slick as I am riding, according to my friends.Black spokes and hubs look awesome. High speed handling is tolerable and no flexing of rims noted on hard accelerations.Weaknesses: These don't spin up as easily as my Velocity Spartacus Pros, but they handle well enough. I understand that this is a BUDGET wheelset, so I get what I pay for.Bottom Line: I bought a set of FSA RD-80's for my second bike which is a 2004 TREK 2200. I was really trying to build up a budget time trial training bike so I could have a change of pace from my number one rig - a 2006 FELT F55.
