Strengths: Light weight, smooth riding, low profile, easy to change tires, good customer support.Weaknesses: None so far.Bottom Line: I just bought 2 wheel sets for new travel bikes for myself and wife. These wheels had great reviews, are light weight, and ride very smooth. I also got the newer version with wider rims. They are designed for lighter weight riders (I weigh 160 lbs and my wife 120 lbs) so it doesn't make sense to get a wheel designed for a 200 lb person. My former wheels were too stiff for me, and these are quick, responsive, and ride much smoother.
Favorite Ride: Mt. Evans, Colorado

Strengths: Bomber wheel for a great price.Weaknesses: This is a shallow complaint, but the rear hub is square and blocky.....not a lot of sex appeal.Bottom Line: When I took these wheels out of the box, the first think I noticed was how smooth and easily they rolled. I now have almost 2000 miles on this wheelset, and they roll just as smoothly as they did that day. I live in the mountains where the plows and old man winter beat up the roads. Despite countless potholes at speed, the rims are still true. If you are on the fence about buying these wheels online, jump off it. This is an excellent build.

Strengths: Light
Strong
Outstanding Workmanship
ServiceWeaknesses: NoneBottom Line: I've had this wheelset for nearly 2 years. Several thousand miles. Texas hill country rider. A few weeks ago I hit the lip at a low water crossing, 40 mph coming down a hill. The back tire blew off the rim and I was left to ride on the back rim and the front wheel intact. The road pitched up and left after the LWC with a rock wall in front of me. Decision time. Feathering back and front brakes, I was able to stop before the wall without biting it. Though the back rim was shredded, the wheel was still true. I was able o remount the GP4000 and ride 45 mi home. THESE WHEELS ARE STRONG. Shaun and his team did an expert job of rebuilding the wheel to like new. ROL stands behind their wheels!

Strengths: Stiffness, weight, climbs like a mountain goat and durable!!!Weaknesses: Tricky in crosswindsBottom Line: After one year and 4000 miles of riding, still true as the day I pulled them out of the box. Fast spin-up and rolls forever...absolutely love how they climb! I ride around the San Antonio hill country on all types of road conditions and 100% satisfied. I just bought my second set!!!

Strengths: Lightweight, great climbing wheels, great product supportWeaknesses: No major issues -best for lighter riders as per the recommendationsBottom Line: I posted a review below and as I can't seem to delete it, I'm posting this in fairness to ROL. Well it seems there was a communication misunderstanding / confusion which was quickly resolved in the end. So a new rear wheel arrived in the post quickly after that ( Australia too). The level of product support and warranty / backing has exceeded my expectations. I haven't had a better experience from an overseas retailer /shop ever. Will happily buy again knowing that the support and service is unbeatable, and I've always loved the wheels.
