Strengths: Price, weight, reliabilty, climbing, acceleration.Weaknesses: None yet.Bottom Line: There wheels are an incredible value, IMHO. After 8K not a single issue, still true. Popped these on right out of the box and the acceleration and climbing was significantly improved, cornering solid. The rear wheel did make a few clicks over the first 1000 miles, but no noise since. Steady on decents and a joy to ride.

Strengths: Strong, light, aero, no broken spokes, looks good, easy to remove decals, good warrantyWeaknesses: None that I can see other than these (and most other lightweight wheelsets on the market) wont be good for you if you are quite big or overweight .Makes sense really doesn't it...!?Bottom Line: Great wheelset, highly recommended, amazing value for only about $500 - makes them cheaper than Mavic Equipes, slightly lighter and far more aero. I honestly believe that 90% of the people that have left negative reviews for this wheel are too heavy to be riding a lightweight wheelset.

2 Year Reynolds warrantyWeaknesses: None (breaking under the strain of a person that is overweight or obese is not a negative if it happens on a lightweight wheelset that can be used in racing.Bottom Line: After touring through 23 different countries throughout 2010 I came home for the start of the crit/race season and bought an Azzurri (awesome bike for the money!). It came with Reynolds Solitude wheelset. After riding and racing on these (and getting a win at Glenvale) I believe these wheels are the best value for money wheelset on the market. Similar price to Mavic Equipe (usually a little bit cheaper) the same weight and a much deeper rim= equals awesome all rounder- great for crits and hilly road races. They are as straight as the day I bought them. Actually I am wondering if some of the less positive reviews on this site have been written by spammers. Either that or people who are too overweight to be riding on road bike wheels at all!
