Vuelta Corsa-Lite

Price Paid:  $300.00 at online

Favorite Ride:
ALAMEDA

Bike Setup:
Full carbon 58cm, Ultegra 6600

Summary:
Great value, ~1.5Kg wheelset. Swapping out the Aksiums and fork that came stock with my bike, I was able to slash close to a full kilo and improve ride quality tremendously.

I weigh 190 lbs and can only throw these wheels a tiny bit out of true. The deflection is visible but so small I don't need to adjust my brakes and is not noticeable at all on the move. Granted, I have not climbed extensively on these but have put them through vigorous sprints without issue.

V section rims and aero spokes are a nice plus from box sections and regular spokes though I have yet to measure the difference it makes for me. Also, the pawls seem to be much quieter than the ones on most Mavic wheels.

Strengths:
Excellent value. Probably compares competitively to Neuvation wheelsets but I'm sure the customer service won't be anywhere near the same. John Neugent runs a bang up operation according to the reviews on this site.

Lighter weight = faster spin-up.

Weaknesses:
Probably not really meant for the heaviest riders but I think its up to the buyer to exercise common sense at this point. 2xx lbs. riders on wheels with virtually no spokes on them O RLY?
