Strengths: Firm, solid, smooth.Weaknesses: weightBottom Line: I am really happy with these as my wheelset for regular riding and training. I found them to be a much firmer wheel than my former DT Swiss RR1.1/1.2 combo. They climb great and roll over bumps with ease. I am not feeling much deforming when I climb out of the saddle or really lay on the power. They feel stable and the white and alloy coloring goes great with titanium.
Favorite Ride: Every Ride
Similar Products Used: DT Swiss RR1.1/1.2 and Colnago factory wheels set. (both were squishier).
Bike Setup: Seven Axiom SL w/ Campy Chorus

Strengths: Tubeless tires.Weaknesses: Spoke nipples come loose and drop into rim.Bottom Line: ... an update on my earlier review when I had had these wheels for 6 months. I've had problems the past year with spoke nipples coming loose very quickly and dropping into the well within the rim ... once they do so, it is very, very hard to get them back out (need to remove the tubeless valve). Takes my LBS former Pro Tour mechanic five minutes with magnets, etc. in a warm, well lit shop. Impossible when cold, wet or without the right tools at roadside. I've tried adding some Loctite to the threads and the problem is not as bad, but it still happens at times. I don't trust the wheels now for longer rides where I cannot afford a failure.

Strengths: Super stiff! Bomb proof! Light enough! Silky smooth spin from non-ceramic bearings (no need here!)Weaknesses: ZERO!Bottom Line: First the starting stats...6'1" 210 lbs. I've always had trouble with wheelsets so, when I decided to build my dream bike, I put many hours into researching them. Ultimately, I chose the R1s because a friend, 6'4" 180 and a far stronger rider, loved them.
I have never ridden this much in my life.
These are amazing. NO FLEX! I live in New England and the roads leave much to be desired. Around 750+ training miles, two triathlons, ten road races, and 5 field sprints...still true as the day they were mounted.
They climb well, not because they are light (not by today's super critical standards), but because they are super stiff. All the power translates to the road.
Ride quality is great considering they are bomb proof. Lighter riders may find it rough but I wouldn't know as I have never been a lighter rider!
Three friends now ride the racing 1s and no one can find a fault.
These wheels mounted to the new bike make me want to ride. Today's stats...still 6'1" but now 183 lbs. Thanks to Fulcrum, LG, and SRAM!
Favorite Ride: Hammer with friends then beer.

Strengths: Construction, hubs, looks.Weaknesses: None that I know of other than weight - if you are a one of those people that worries about every gram.Bottom Line: I have two sets of the clinchers. I love these wheels. They are very similar to Campagnolo Eurus Wheels of which I also have two sets. Over a period of time I have converted my two favorite bikes to Campy and therefore have basically moved from Mavics Ksyrium SLs to Campy products. My Fulcrums have been maintenance free thus far and spin like all good Campy hubs should. They are stiff and very responsive. I have found that mounting some tires can be a bit difficult when comparing the effort to Mavics but the gain of not having to adjust hubs and lack of rolling resistance makes them well worth it. They also look fantastic.
Favorite Ride: Rollers
