Strengths:    Cheap, Campy compatible, bladed spokes, "semi-aero" profile.

Weaknesses:    I guess a little on the heavy side.


Bottom Line:   
Pretty good cheap set of wheels. There were a few comments in the Forum section about these wheels but no formal product review. I bought them because I could not afford other Campy compatible wheels and didn't want to risk buying used. They are as heavy as the Mavic CXP10 rims I had on the bike with a Shimano setup.
Overall, I would buy them again because I think they are a good value and preform to my expectations.
