Strengths: Bought new felt F3 with a SRAM red package in may 2012, strength Would be I got the rest of the SRAM components and not just a wheelsetWeaknesses: Broke spokes on front and rear in first month , rear bearing went after 3 months, maybe 1500 miles, rear bearing bad again in
December. Obviously a problem
Bottom Line: Don't appear to be a durable wheel, I'm quite disappointed

Strengths: Light, and round (at least, SRAM does not make square shaped wheels)Weaknesses: I have had my SRAM s30 SL for 2.5 years by now.
first impression was good, lightweight, no problems in windy conditions etc.
But.... Hub and bearings is nothing but crap.
And now in my second season I have had four: One, two three, FOUR spokes that have popped while riding on the flat. For no reason at all. Four spokes within 500km riding.
My weight is 80kg and we are talking about non-extreme riding on mostly flat Swedish roads in good condition..
At the end of the day, I Can't recommend these wheels to anyone, not even to an enemy.

Strengths: Light weight, aero, internal nipples. ceramic bearings. Basically a Zipp 101 with a smaller price tag.Weaknesses: 1000+ miles and none to be found.Bottom Line: This is NOT for the AL Race, rather the S30 GOLD wheelset. I have had these for 4 months and over 1000 miles on them, no problems what-so-ever. The ceramic bearings are super smooth, the wheels roll true even with the poorly maintained roads of NE FL. The shape is aero enough to give a nice advantage but not so deep as to get pushed all over the road at the first sign of a crosswind. I have read where people had problems with spokes on the AL Race, these have no problems. I am ~185-190 pound, 6'1" guy and tend to hammer these with my group; if they were going to break I would have already popped several. Are there cheaper wheels out there, yes. Are these wheels worth the money if you want a wheel that you can use for training and racing, yes. Bottom line - the S30 Gold is a fast, well built, good looking, high quality wheelset.

Bottom Line: No problem with the bearings as described by previous reviewers, however . . . Within the space of 4 days I had spokes break on both the front and back wheels with no apparent cause; they just popped. Once is an anomoly, twice is a trend and a disconcerting one. If the next one pops while I'm going down a hill at 35+ mph, I am hamburger.
