Strengths: Very stong and aero. Nice lookingWeaknesses: Not real light and different spokes.Bottom Line: Super wheels. Very fast and aerodynamic. Very stong also. They look nice with the alloy finish and match my bike well. I also don't have many problems in cross winds (compared to the Rev/x I used to ride). I crashed in the tour de tucson and broke my front fork and bent the bars but these wheels didn't even go out of true.

Strengths: Aero. Relatively light. Nice looking silver finish matches bike.Weaknesses: a little heavy. Different spokes.Bottom Line: Excellent wheels. I bought them 5 years ago from a friend used and realy like them. They are so strong. I crashed at the tour de tucson and cracked my fork and bent my bars but the wheels didn't go out of true at all. They are a very aero wheel and you don't get knocked around in the wind (like the spinergy rev-x). Not real light but the roll well.

Strengths: Very strong & I noticed a difference in speed on the road, +3 kph faster I would guess over my CX wheels, Mavic MA3/Matrix Aurora (6500's mounted with Mich Jets at the time)Weaknesses: Machined rim is my VERY small complaint. They are wearing fairly fast due to the grit from the trails. I concede that they were not meant for this duty.Bottom Line: I paid Cdn$400 for these wheels & love them. I have had the opportunity to ride these wheels on a variety of surfaces ranging from road, sidewalk, grass & crushed gravel trails, & very light single track.
I am very pleased to say that I have not had any problems with them at all. They are stable at speed, & have taken a few good wallops due to my riding style, or lack thereof (must pay attention to potholes).
They look real cool too, low spoke count & all.

Strengths: dampens road chatter, nice and stiff, great rolling wheels, still in true. I have used only Michelin ProRace on htem and can put them on by hand. I am not insanely strong so it's either technique or the tire.Weaknesses: None that I can think ofBottom Line: Oh my god I am in love

Strengths: Fast, quiet, smooth, strong, stay trued!!Weaknesses: Changing tires is not looked forward to! Ten minutes to change both.Bottom Line: Love the wheels. Noticed increased speed instantly. Very smooth, fast and quiet! Changing tires can be a challenge, but not as bad as I expected. Have over 2,000 miles on some rough roads and are still as true as the day I got them.
