Product Description

Reynolds proudly introduces the Attack, a breakthrough wheelset that makes carbon performance a reality for just about any rider. The Attack is the high performance, all-carbon clincher within reach of every serous cyclist–competitive or otherwise. It’s light enough to be competitive with even the spendiest carbon wheels on the market. And with a 32mm profile, the Attack slices through the air effortlessly, as it corners and climbs with the same stiff response.

Strengths:    Looks Good , Light

Weaknesses:    Spokes keep breaking , noisy free hub , awful braking

Bottom Line:

Great looking wheel and nice and light but thats where the compliments stop! Spokes just kept popping in the front wheel and in the end it wrecked the rim. I had them replaced and tensioned properly and it kept happening.Horrible braking in the dry so imagine in the wet and thats with Reynolds recommended own pads and SwissTops as well.Never again for me. Alloy braking surfaces and more research here I come!

Strengths:    Light and stiff. Durable and good looks.

Weaknesses:    Braking, Noisy Freehub

Bottom Line:

I've ridden these for over 2000 miles and overall they have been a good durable wheelset. No flexing on climbs,quick spin up and handle well on fast decents (50+mph). The wheels have remained true until recently when I failed to hop a curb. Braking has been good to a point. First they squeal even with swiss stop yellow pads. Also lately the braking surfaces have been glazing often requiring me to remove glazing with a red scotch brite pad.

Date Reviewed: September 3, 2011

Strengths:    Look good and are a good spinner On a flat road

Weaknesses:    Wheels are 4 weeks old and have buckled twice and now seems to have a hub problem, poor quality rim very disappointing, not made for anyone over 85kg!

Noisy breaking and overall a frustrating purchase, don't buy these wheels.

Bottom Line:

Have previously owned Reynolds Solitudes and assaults which were great, the attacks are nothing but a headache !

Strengths:    they go round until the spokes break

Weaknesses:    spokes are pathetic

Bottom Line:

Very disappointing. As with other writers I've seen the spokes keep breaking. Not only does this regularly stuff you up on rides with the added troubles of then getting home, it ends up costing a bomb as well. The spokes shear off where they enter the rim. Do not buy them or other Reynolds wheels as the australian distributer "bike sports importz" treats you with contempt when you try and get them fixed. They wouldn't even tell me where to get replacement spokes.

Submitted by Chris Walker a Triathlete from

Date Reviewed: June 26, 2011

Strengths:    Light and aero.

Weaknesses:    Loud braking surface. I dont think they are made for bigger riders and long descents (I'm 6'3, 195#)

Bottom Line:

These wheels are light and fast, however I never got rid of the squeeling problem on descents and they literally melted on me on a long steep descent.
