    Strengths:    Price,super smooth, 8,9,or 10 spd, stiff and responsive.

    Weaknesses:    A little heavy at 1750g and needed to upgrade the rim tape.

    Bottom Line:   
    These wheels are very smooth and have great rigidity with the offset rear wheel. I believe they are faster than my new ultegra wheelset although not as light as some would like. I ride on poorly cared for roads and cross RR tracks often at high rates of speed and they are still perfect.

    Strengths:    Very low maintenance. Strong, stay true, great value, relatively aero dynamic rim and spokes.

    Weaknesses:    Not particularly light

    Bottom Line:   
    I think these wheels are pretty good. They have stayed pretty true after about 2K miles of riding with no maintenance whatsoever. I've just given them a good clean and they look almost new. The hub fits 8/9/10 speed which is a big advantage. They seem reasonably stiff, although I've not compared them to a high end wheel.

    I have a nice road bike that came with a Shimano R-540 wheelset. I was looking to upgrade just a bit, and noticed the newer Shimano 105 wheelset. I have had very good success wit   Read More »
