Legendary Hubs
Serviceable.Weaknesses: None so far.Bottom Line: These wheels are the bomb. I purchased the 2010 edition of these wheels, and they are beautifully made, with DT Swiss hubs (DT 240s) and high modulus carbon rims that are on par with my Edge Composites 45s. Nothing but quality here. Great riding wheels, fast accelerating and honest weight claims at 1380g.

Strengths: Fast on flats and 1-3% descents.
Look great
Reynold's stood behind them
reasonable weight for deep v rim
Weaknesses: Melt with intense braking.
Lousy braking
tough in crosswinds
noisy(creaking)
expensiveBottom Line: Although this wheel has some great attributes, overall it is a lousy investment. I have melted the rear rim twice while descending steep technical hills. I am 6'1" and 200 lbs. but they do not put a weight restriction on them. Reynold's stood beside the product and replaced the rim both times but it took a long time. The braking is terrible. They are also terrible in a crosswind. After the second melting, with the terrible braking and the lousy riding in crosswinds, I lost tons of confidence on steep descents and wasn't having fun. I finally gave up on them and am very happily on a pair of Fulcrum racing one's. They (the reynolds) are also very creaky/noisy (Not just the sound of a deep carbon wheel).

Strengths: Light, durable, easy to maintainWeaknesses: Price, internal nippels
Bottom Line: Reynolds DV46C is one of the best carbon clinchers on the market. They hold up very well and believe me I ride on less than medium quality roads. I use them as an everyday wheels set and so far they've been fantastic. I've ridden them in up to 25mph wind but even then they performed very well.

Strengths: Light, fast, smooth, had have held trueWeaknesses: Carbon wheels will have some brake squeal more often than aluminum alloy wheels. Brake power is good but not the same as aluminum.Bottom Line: I have put a 1000 miles on a set 09 UL. I have grown to really love these wheels. The combination of DT Hubs and carbon rims make for a much smoother ride. The wheels are light and stiff enough for a 180 recreational rider. They spin up quickly and hold speed. I had some brake squeal issues but with some adjustment and SwissStop Yellows I was able to minimize it; though not completely eliminate it. The wheels are still true after several bumbs and bangs.
