Weaknesses: Heavy. Repeated rear wheel spoke breakage. Turns out these are designed and spec'd for 3x rear but some were built and shipped 2x. Manufacturer advised that 2x WILL cause spoke breakage but no support from Pro-Lite (see above).Bottom Line: Started out happy, seemed like sturdy wheels at a very good price until repeated spoke failures on the rear DS. Turns out wheels were designed for 3x but built 2x. When I asked for a replacement with the correct build here's some of what I got from Pro-Lite's CEO (verbatim): "Send me your address so I can also ship several crates of champagne to you on a weekly basis for the next 5 years as well will you. Do you honestly
think we go out of our way to build wheels the wrong way. Get a life. As the
product evolves so do the specifications. When was the last time you heard of someone demanding a new BMW 5 series because they changed from Continental tyres to Michelin. What's wrong with you people in Australia you are always looking to get something for free I have never known a nation like it. You say in the interests of supporting our customers, don't you mean being held to ransom by people who think the world owes them." It goes on. Never again.
Favorite Ride: Anywhere flat with a tailwind
Similar Products Used: many conventional wheels, Record + OP, CXP33 on CK etc. Zipp tubbies for race day.
Bike Setup: 2 roadies, DEAN El Diente with Record and custom Paconi with Chorus.

Strengths: Extra Stiff,Aero and spin fastWeaknesses: A little heavy (I don't mind about it)Bottom Line: I've been looking for a full carbon clincher to try on.A little bit skeptical about it at first, but for the price I'll try it and I can sell it back if I don't like it. To my suprise the wheels was way beyond my expectation. The wheels was stiff and rolls very fast.Now I like it more than my Ksyrium SSC SL, anyone interested?

Strengths: STRONG, LOOK GOOD, STIFF, GREAT BEARINGS AND ESPECIALLY PRICEWeaknesses: NONE SO FARBottom Line: I NEEDED A BULLETPROOF CARBON WHEELSET FOR EVERYDAY USE. LOOKED AT LOTS OF OPTIONS. AFTER STUDYING AND READING THE BLOGS OF THE MAINSTREAM WHEELS, ZIPP, REYNOLDS, FLASHPOINT, ROVAL, ETC...BUT AFTER READING AND CALLING DIRECTLY TO THE DIFFERENT COMPANIES I LIKED WHAT I HEARD FROM THE PRO-LITE PEOPLE. I ALSO SAW A VIDEO ON UTUBE THAT SHOWED HOW THESE WHEELS ARE MADE. I WAS VERY IMPRESSED. AND ESPECIALLY FOR THE PRICE. I PURCHASED THE WHEELS AND HAVE BEEN RIDING THEM FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND I LOVE THEM. I WEIGH 270 LBS AND HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM WITH THEM FLEXING OR NEEDING ADJUSTMENT. THEY RIDE AS NICE AS MY CAMPAGNOLO SHAMAL ULTRA'S I RIDE ON THIS BIKE ALSO.
