Bike Setup: Specialized Tarmac Pro, 2009, Campy 10 speed carbon with 09 shifters, Cnc brakes, 14.8 pounds without pedals. Great WTB Rocket V Pro saddle
Summary: I am a 58 year old rider, retired 8 years so I have lots of time for research. These are great wheels, super light, crazy smooth bearings, super strong. Only problem is they are not as pretty as the newer wheels and no one knows about these, just amazing. x-ray spokes. check out the details on their web site, 1470 grams.
Strengths: Light, super smooth bearings.
SLEEPER wheels. All performance.
Weaknesses: No impact on the way they look.
Similar Products Used: too many

Summary: I had them lace both front and back 2x rather then radial front and 3x rear. Wheels came in at 1420g w/o skewers and 1523 w/skewers on the scale at lbs. You'll pay 2x as much for a comparable wheelset from another company. Velocity is a great company and deals with any issues on their wheels.
Strengths: Weight, price, great company. They are local where I live and I went to the company and talked with the guy who runs it about lacing options etc. Anyone can call him too. They aren't using proprietary parts so any reputable lbs can work on them w/o ordering parts.
Weaknesses: None
Similar Products Used: Low end Mavic (yuck! long wait for replacement parts too), Gippieme (heavy but solid)
