Strengths:    Front wheel is ok. I haven't had issues with that wheel yet. Spins freely and true after a couple thousand miles.

Weaknesses:    Rear wheel is terrible. Hub makes slight grinding noise now. And the spokes are constantly loosening.

Bottom Line:

I commuted and road back roads, some light single tracking on my GT Type CX. These wheels came with it. Very disappointed in the rear wheel, I ran into the same issues the other reviewers had. Spokes came loose after a few hundred miles. Tightened and trued the wheel, and it happened again. I haven't seen the nipples pull through the rim yet, but I'm waiting for. I am not easy on them though. Definitely get their fair share of abuse, but should not be used for Cross in my opinion. Maybe light road riding. Giving it a 2 on the overall rating just because the front wheel has been fine.

Strengths:    spin up quick, feel nimble
relatively light for the price

Weaknesses:    spokes loosening
rattling and creaking
not for heavy riders

Bottom Line:

Got these wheels as part of a build kit, and had about 300 troubled k's on them. Spokes loosened off several times, seemingly every 20ks. In the end the LBS lock-tighted them, but they still creaked, and groaned whenever I stood up to push. They also rattled over every bump in the road. Would not recommend them if you are a bit heavy like me. For a lighter rider they might be ok.

Strengths:    The front wheel is good

Weaknesses:    The rimm is not strong enough at the nipple holes

Bottom Line:

I bought the wheelset from a private person but it whas a new set and still in the box. After aprox. 1000km I heard ticking noises and found that some spokes in the back wheel where loose. I spanned them again and then spanned all the spokes 1/4 turn to get a tight wheel.
After some 100ths of kilometers I heard a ticking noise again and now I found that the spoke nipples are coming through the rim. There are litle bursts at every spoke nipple on the pignon side.

The first time i used the wheels. All the spokes came loose on the dished side. The spokes also pulled out of the nipples. Now after about six months use, The spoke nipples are pulling though the rim.
