Strengths: Smooth bearings
Solid build
Awesome valueWeaknesses: 11T shimano lockring incompatible
Sketchy tire mounting (tube)
Rim is not machined (mildly irritating, you feel the bump)Bottom Line: These are perfect training wheels. They roll smoothly and true out of the box. Weight is not crazy heavy, 1800+g. There is some drag on the freewheel when coasting but hopefully that eases in time.
The only real caveat is mounting tires. It took some work to get my tires to mount round, the bead would not set until I used some baby powder to mount the tubes. Maybe the wide rim bed has something to do with it?

Strengths: Reasonably light
Strong.
Roll well.Weaknesses: Have real trouble getting the tyres off and on when I get a puncture. It's a minor quibble and I only discovered it when I got my first flat last week. Snapped my plastic levers trying to remove the tyre. Bought some metal ones specifically for my commuter now. Not sure if this is as a result of design changes for the "two-way fit".
Bottom Line: Use these wheels on my commuter. They roll nicely - they make a bit of noise on the free-wheel but I think this is just a Campy / Fulcrum thing - the Campy wheels on my racing bike make the same noise.

Strengths: The price / quality (what a combination!)
The strenght
The looks (the surely don't look cheap)
Fast - rolling
Weaknesses: A lot of sound (but this is not really a weakness)Bottom Line: Good set of wheels. I bought them in order to equip my bike for the Marmotte of 2009 and they will stay there! They will surely get me over the steepest hills.
I'm a light rider (64 kilos) and these weels offer me assurance and a safe, steady feeling. In combination with Continental GP 4000 I feel the king of the road.
The quality you get for that price is almost unbelievable. They are smooth, fast - rolling and more aero than they look.

Strengths: Fast, Roll really good, Look awesome. Not too heavyWeaknesses: None really, but the freewheel is rather loud when coasting.Bottom Line: I've been using these wheels for around 3 months now and i'm quite immpressed. They are quite lighter than the older fulcrum 5's. They are quite and roll well. And average weight too but you really notice that much. The next test really is how long do the last for?, but for now they are "sweet as".
