a Recreational RiderDate Reviewed: November 11, 2010
Strengths: • Visually stunning
• Great hubs
• Low spoke count
• Awesome priceWeaknesses: • It'd be sweet if they were a tad lighter, but they're about .5lbs lighter than my old wheelset, so I won't complainBottom Line: For starters, I know a lot of you are curious about rider size/weight when reading reviews... I'm 5'10" and weight 152lbs.
I've been slowly upgrading all the components on a steel Jamis Satellite over this past year and the most recent thing on my agenda was the wheelset... the dumpy stock Alex wheels needed to go.
After toying with the idea of having my buddies at the shop build me a custom set I realized that it just wasn't in my price range... so the search for a mid-range and affordable set began. Fulcrum Racing5 was in the running, but they were too ugly. Neuvations looked great on paper, but spending under $200 for a wheelset seemed too good to be true. Then came the 2011 Shimano WH-RS30A's... great price, great visual appeal, great hubs, bladed spokes, aero profile... I was sold.
I'm not going to lie to you and say the specs are the only reason my ride performance has improved, because I think a good deal of my progress has to do with the renewed love of my bike after getting an upgrade. Either way, I've cut down the time it takes for me to do a 40mile ride by close to 30min as well as increased my average speed from 17mph to 19.5mph. We'll see how they perform come spring when I can get back to doing 100+ miles per week.
