Strengths: +Comfortable
+Great hubs
+Super braking (not sure why)Weaknesses: +Not snappy like a light race wheel (but this is not a race wheel)Bottom Line: Wow...this is a really positive surprise! Wider rim means a very different ride. Comfortable, stable and true. I also seem to have better braking power with these wheels (not sure why but assume it has to do with the 22mm rim vs 19mm). These are a great value for a super reliable wheelset. Best wheelest I've used for the money in 10 years!

Weaknesses: early fissures at rim where spoke stem buttBottom Line: Was cleaning my rims last week and noticed small cracks on rear rim where spoke stem meets the rim - Specialized Roubaix bike has 3000 miles on it but have never seen another rim breakdown like this. i'd look for another mfg before buying Shimano.

Strengths: simple design, easy to maintain, Wheelset feels lighter than it actually is, price, wear indicator, come with rim tape,Weaknesses: none so far, lighter is not always better on the terrible roads of the Northeast USBottom Line: I was looking for good set of training wheels that does not break the bank, can take pot holes and go through winter without breaking my heart. So far i have done 300 miles and I am surprised how good the RS-20 hold up. I am again surprised how smooth the bearings are and how nice you roll on flats. Not as snappy on climbs as my Mavic Ksyrium SL but the goal is sturdy for winter and bad roads not lightweight. Much better than Fulcrum 7, better bearings, easier to spin up to speed and less noise from the hub. The rim is bit wider than on my mavic's judging by brake closure, i am also running 25mm on it and have to say it's great for potholes and comfort overall. I put some addl grease into the hub to prevent water and dust contamination in winter. Overall this is a great training or commuting wheelset for the price
Favorite Ride: anywhere on open roads with no cars
Price Paid:
$220.00
Purchased At: PBK
Similar Products Used: Fulcrum 7 - a brick to spin up to speed, AC-420: crap that goes out of true in 500 miles, Mavic Ksyrium SL: great wheels that hold up well but with a pricetag
Bike Setup: Raleigh carbon frame with SRAM mix
