Price Paid:  $699.00 at LBS

Bike Setup:
Litespeed Tuscany, Dura-Ace bits, Thompson post and stem. Conti GP 4000 tires

Summary:
A nice relatively lightweight & strong wheelset. I'm a heavy (220-230lbs) and have had no problems with wheels going out of true or breaking in 3000 miles. Have had some minor issues with the pawls drying out and rubbing and some issues with mechanism not freewheeling properly. Mostly seems to work out with overhaul and new bearings (1st time I only had 1000 miles on them though).

Strengths:
Strong, light and look pretty cool.

Weaknesses:
Cassette body seems to need rebuilding and lubing more than other wheelsets I've owned (road or mtb)
