Strengths: Light and solid.Weaknesses: Freehub is aluminum, so cassettes with individual cogs start digging into it. I have a SRAM red cassette now which seems fine. Also, replacement freehubs are available.Bottom Line: I've put about 2000 miles on these wheels and been very pleased with them. Their light, 1378 grams on my scale without skewers, and they feel solid. I weight 190 pounds, and there's no squirming or brake pad rub. So far, they've stayed true with no adjustments necessary, although I tend to be pretty careful when I ride, no potholes or curb jumping, etc.
Favorite Ride: Scott Addict SL
Similar Products Used: Mavic Open Pro/Ultegra, Mavic Aksium.

Strengths: Light, super smooth bearings.
SLEEPER wheels. All performance.Weaknesses: No impact on the way they look.Bottom Line: 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: 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: NoneBottom Line: 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.
Favorite Ride: Hills
Purchased At: LBS
Similar Products Used: Low end Mavic (yuck! long wait for replacement parts too), Gippieme (heavy but solid)
