    Strengths:    Light, takes out road vibration, bombproof as far as "light" wheel sets go.

    Weaknesses:    Price, but if you're buying these you know what you're getting with durability and dependability.

    Bottom Line:   
    As bombproof a light wheel can get. I'm 165 lbs. and these have remained true even with going downhill and blasting a pot hole that made my tires/tube blow out. I've been on these for close to 2 years and have not had a problem with them. Pretty stiff and does a fair job of taking out road vibration, it helps that I ride a Cervelo R3. I'm on the road 3-6 days a week and these are my standard wheels. If you buy'em you might as well use them. If you ride these for a long time you forget how nice they ride, until you swap these wheels out. These make you smile when you go on a ride.

    Strengths:    Light, great value, solid feel on twisty descents, Aluminium braking surface, quality Dura Ace hubs and free-wheel body, quiet free-wheel body, seem to roll fast, holding up well under lots of rough use

    Weaknesses:    If you want a cushy ride there may be more suitable wheels out there

    Bottom Line:   
    I have put about 8000km on these wheels and have grown to love them. They remain as true as when I bought them. They are light but very solid to descend on so they make a great climbing wheels. Hubs and free-wheel body are outstanding Dura Ace quality. I much prefer the Al braking surface to carbon fibre, especially for long descents.

    I found they transmitted a bit more road shock than my previous Ksyrium SL's but it felt like they rolled faster

    Strengths:    Light, strong, true and dollar for dollar best value wheels that have I ridden.

    Weaknesses:    Still waiting

    Bottom Line:   
    I am 75kg and ride 4000km per year - all sealed roads but with usual debris, glass, speed humps, kerbs etc. Either Michelin Prorace 3s and Conti GP4000s used. No broken spokes unlike my Eastons. Good braking. Occasional groan when accelerating from slow speeds.

    Strengths:    very lightweight, (claimed 1368gm)
    strong
    stays true

    Weaknesses:    nothing so far

    Bottom Line:   
    Before purchase, I was concerned about my weight, (205 lb.), and if a 16/20 wheelset could support me. After several months of use, these wheels are great. No negative issues at all. The roads I ride are pretty rough in spots, and the wheels have stayed as true as the day I pulled them out of the box. I would not hesitate to purchase these wheels again.

    Strengths:    True, fast and stiff
    Look cool and lightweight

    Weaknesses:    Hubs are not smooth enough. Could be improved.

    Bottom Line:   
    I've been using these now for 2 years and they are a solid wheelset. I'm light (70KG) so my wheels generally last but have been impresssed with how stiff they are and they run true now as they did when new. Only complaint is the hubs don't run nearly as well as my campag wheels which are older and have taken a battering.
