Strengths: Weight, DurableWeaknesses: few engagement points in hub, low flangesBottom Line: Great Aluminum Clincher. I purchased these as a do all wheel for a new bike build, and they have stood up very well. I have put 6000 miles on them and only minorly trued them once! I only weight 120lbs, so I can't speak for how they would do under all riders but they have stood up to the abuse of chipseal and pothole roads very well. The light weight of the hoop is immediately noticeable when you accelerate. I switched from a 1990 gram wheel set to these and the acceleration difference is huge. (Went from playing slow catch up every time people hit the gas pedal to having to slow up so I didn't run into rear wheels) My only complaint is the hubs, they are decent but not great. Number of engagement points in the rear hub isn't super impressive and would like to see higher, sturdier flanges.

Strengths: light, fast, stiffWeaknesses: had a spoke that would loosen every few rides for a while.Bottom Line: Light, fast, stiff, best wheels I've owned. Well worth the money. And super customer service. I will ride them until I can't. Front still true after 6000 miles, rear with a touch of wonk from city streets of Seattle.

Strengths: Price/value, strong, light, looksWeaknesses: none yetBottom Line: Great wheelset. Light, strong, laterally stiff. Just like all the other reviews, Sean was a great help when I spoke to him. Told him these wheels would look cool with red nipples, so he threw those on for me and they look sweet! Had to do some minor truing but that could just be me being anal. ROL hubs are pretty darn nice too...they spin forever. For the money they are a killer deal!

Strengths: Incredible value for the price. I put in quite a few miles of climbing on rough roads including the California death ride and they remained true.Weaknesses: NoneBottom Line: Great Wheels and incredible customer service. I had a pair of Easton EA90 SLX's before and these are noticeably faster climbing. Also, when I had a few questions about the wheel set, Sean (the CEO) contacted me personally unlike the lack of response I get from Easton. A fan for life.

Strengths: Stiff & LightWeaknesses: NoneBottom Line: I love these wheels, for all the reasons stated by others. This review is specifically of their service. Last night I was hammering up a short steep hill (being chased by a thunderstorm) when a spoke popped. Seconds later, the rear derailer got sucked into the wheel and I was done. Took the bike to my LBS along with the spare spokes that came with the wheel. They notice the chain had chewed on the spokes just behind the cassette. Called Sean to see if I could buy some extra spokes but he suggested I come over so they can install them. When I got there, I mentioned that a spoke had popped. He was suprised and changed the game plan to re-stringing the wheel, fearing some defective spokes had been used. By this afternoon, I had a re-strung wheel with DT Swiss Aeros, rebuilt freewheel, resurfaced brake area and fresh decals! All at NO charge! I can't believe the level of service from this company. I don't think you will find a better value in wheels anywhere. HIGHLY recommended! Thanks Sean!
