Summary:
I had high hopes for this wheels. In the first mile of riding these wheels the spokes kept popping and the wheels went out of true. Who wants to spend $999.00 for a product that needs fixing right out of the box. Wheels are crap! Mr. Williams advised me to take the wheels to my local bike shop to get them trued and they should be OK, yea right! Who wants to spend the time, money, and the put up with the hassle factor of fixing a new product? I should of saved my money and purchased some Zipp 404's

Strengths:
None

Weaknesses:
Have to be fixed right out of the box. Major hassle and pain in the you know what!

Summary:
Bought these wheels last week. Wow. Very fast, but surprisingly soft ride, yet feel very stable to the road. Cant get over how much they increase my avg. mph - 1.75mph on my standard 3 hour route. Very straight and true out of the box. Raced them in a stage race 4 days after receiving them - placed 3rd overall. Did the wheels assist? You bet. NO Doubt. Big boost. Ceramic bearings that came standard are very effective in transfer of power. Im a sprinter and these things dont give on a sprint or in the turn of a crit. I like that. Also, the finish is awesome with the carbon fiber weave noticeable. Will post later on durability.

Strengths:
Fast but soft ride for full carbon. Clincher is awesome. Love the special raised braking surface - It works. USA Made. Ceramics + Aero design offer big boost.

Weaknesses:
None so far.
