    Price Paid:  $0.00 at LBS

    Favorite Ride:
    Hills

    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)
