Cane Creek Volos Sterling

Price Paid:  $600.00

Favorite Ride:
Long hills (not too steep)

Summary:
Great wheels but have needed some TLC over the years. The rear hub seized on me after only 2500 miles. This was repaired for free by Cane Creek even though the wheel was out of warranty. Have twice broken spokes and coulc not source the correct Sapem bladed spokes so ended up with the round variety. Dont get me wrong, I love these wheels, I have just found them a bit fragile.

Strengths:
Fast, light, stable.

Weaknesses:
A bit fragile.

Summary:
Purchased the Velos Sterling wheelset to replace an old Mavic open CD wheelset. Wow, what a difference! Every pedal stroke feels stronger - they are lighter and more aero. These wheels are faster up & down hills and on the flats. Very smooth ride, and reasonably priced wheelset. Bike steering responds with less effort. I hear Cane Creek wheels are reliable over many years and hope to have the same experience.

Strengths:
Value for the weight and aero attributes, look nice in sterling.

Weaknesses:
