Bike Setup: Ridley Carbon, Dura Ace, Zipp bars-stem.
Stronglight pulsion cranks. FSA seatpost.
Prologo saddle. Time pedals.
Summary: When I built my bike I was trying to save some $ for a carbon wheelset. I needed to get something on the bike to ride. I was looking at some alloy wheels that I could get a deal on. For $300 w/shipping and at 1550 grams these wheels are unbeatable! Have put about a 1000 miles on them with no problems.
Strengths: 1550 grams at $300
hold up well with daily riding
Weaknesses: none.......no skewers?
Similar Products Used: Mavic, Spinergy, Wolber

Summary: Beautiful wheel set. Weighs 1550 grams on my digital scale (vs. advertised 1510). Came with rim tape and cassette lock-ring, but no skewers. Ride is very stiff compared to my old Spox set, but much lighter - you can feel the improvement in climbs.
I got the Campagnolo cassette-carrier. Be careful mounting a 9-speed Campy cassette - you'll need a thin shim to keep the lockring from going too deep and rubbing on the seal. I left it out at first and it bound up a bit. Perfect with the shim. Probably not a concern with 10 or 11 speed.
So far so good - love 'em!
Strengths: Light weight for the price - stiff for climbing. Simple cassette-carrier changing.
Weaknesses: Stiffer ride on harsh roads - good thing I ride steel!

Summary: Skeptical at first because of price, not brand. It is obvious that Torelli out-sources their products, but since most cycling products are, I decided to take a chance.
Strengths: These are really quite good. Having ridden Eastons, hand built Mavics, sew-ups and clinchers,and others, in comparison, these wheels have been holding up quite well and meet all the criteria that most cyclist want: Light weight, durability, low cost and high performance.
Weaknesses: Lack brand recognition, if that is an issue.

Bike Setup: Campy Record, mavic brakes, Yoko's reaction cable set, ITM Millenium wing bar(best wing bar ever made) speedplay ti's.
Summary: These are the best deal for the money period. 410 gram rim with regular spokes. Lighter rim than any Ksyrium. Sealed bearings front and back. Very easy to change freehub to Campy or Shimano
Strengths: Superlight for the asking price. Very servicable
Weaknesses: Can't find one.
Similar Products Used: Mavics at $400 are 1780 grams with special spokes and nipples.
