Strengths: STRONG and Stay True
Losing a spoke doesn't end your ride
I think they look goodWeaknesses: Could use strengthening at the rimBottom Line: I've ridden these for 3 years now (ave ~70 miles a week) They roll very well and are extremely strong wheels. I have broken 2 rear spokes (one on each side) and the LBS had no problem finding the Jhook spokes. The wheel was only pulled out of true by about 5mm on the loss of either spoke. The only issue is the rear rim has developed stress cracks at the nipples. I am 200-210# and ride the French cobblestone like streets in and around Oklahoma City.

Strengths: Can take abuse. Less spokes make a difference down hills. Cool looking thick aero rims.Weaknesses: Aluminum Shimano hub (BAD!)
Fairly heavy
Bottom Line: I finally figured out why these wheels are so cheap when I needed to change the rear cassette: They use aluminum freehubs for Shimano, which is a really BAD idea as the steel sprocket splines will dig into the freehub rather badly. Aside from that they have been my training wheels for 3 years without any need to true them. I got the 24 spoke (instead of 20, the description above is incorrect) rear for heavier riders and 16 spoke front.
Favorite Ride: Up any hill...

Strengths: Good hub, stiffWeaknesses: Not much at thios priceBottom Line: This is an Australian produst as far as I can tell. I've had these for 3 seasons as training wheels. Smooth bearings, stiff on climbs. I'm 180lbs and never had the impression of flexing/break rub etc.
In the 3rd season the rear wheel started squeeking on climbs and after a short investigation I traced it back to a lose nut holding the freehub in place. After tightening this the noise went away.
Favorite Ride: All over
