    Price Paid:  $350.00 at lbs

    Favorite Ride:
    open road

    Bike Setup:
    2001 Bianchi Boron XL, 03 full ultegra, ultegra hubs with velocity rims.

    Summary:
    These wheels are very smooth and have great rigidity with the offset rear wheel. I believe they are faster than my new ultegra wheelset although not as light as some would like. I ride on poorly cared for roads and cross RR tracks often at high rates of speed and they are still perfect.

    Strengths:
    Price,super smooth, 8,9,or 10 spd, stiff and responsive.

    Weaknesses:
    A little heavy at 1750g and needed to upgrade the rim tape.

    Similar Products Used:
    mavic ssc, ultegra hubs with velocity rims.

    Price Paid:  $90.00 at Ribble

    Favorite Ride:
    dukes pass

    Bike Setup:
    Litespeed Tuscanny + Ultegra

    Summary:
    I think these wheels are pretty good. They have stayed pretty true after about 2K miles of riding with no maintenance whatsoever. I've just given them a good clean and they look almost new. The hub fits 8/9/10 speed which is a big advantage. They seem reasonably stiff, although I've not compared them to a high end wheel.

    Strengths:
    Very low maintenance. Strong, stay true, great value, relatively aero dynamic rim and spokes.

    Weaknesses:
    Not particularly light
