Description Lightweight and super strong, the stealth PBO is the ultimate racing or training wheel. PBO technology brings wheel weight to a minimum, and helps to reduce rider fatigue.
Bike Setup: 2009 Giant TCR Advanced 1, Sram Red/Force
Summary: I purchased these wheels because at the time, I couldn't find any PBO wheels for my budget. So I went for the SS. I was not all that impressed until I rode them. What a difference! They spin up faster and are stiffer than my Mavic krysium elites. The speed difference is at least 2mph. I can sprint over 30 easily and hold it for much longer. The aero advantage is very pronounced. look to be bulletproof. I would highly recommend them. Next time, PBO spokes
Strengths: Fast, stiff, cool white only graphics.
Weaknesses: heavier that advertised. Spotty carbon finish. Spokes aren't bladed, but do they need to be?

Summary: I purchased these wheels several months ago despite lots of negative feedback on the trillium wheels. but i must say these wheels deliver. very stiff and responsive, not bad to look at, as well.I USE THEM FOR WEEKEND RIDES, I USE MY VELOMAX CIRCUITS, DURING THE WEEK.ITS ONLY BEEN THREE MONTHS WITH NO PROBLEMS.
Strengths: NICE STURDY, CARBON WHEELS,THAT DELIVER, AND WONT BREAK THE BANK.
Weaknesses: IF YOUR WIEGHT CONCIOUS, THERE IS A NOTICABLE ADDITION OF WEIGHT, IN WICH THERE ARE ALUMINUM DEEP SECTION WHEELS WICH ARE LIGHTER, AND COST ABOUT THE SAME.BUT IF YOU LOVE THE WAY CARBON WHEELS LOOK, WHO CARES.

Bike Setup: Tested on three bike set up. Litespeed Tuscany, Dura Ace triple. Felt, Dura Ace Double FSA compact crank. De Rosa Primato, Ultegra.
Summary: I guess I would be considered a large rider at 6 foot 2 inches and 190 pounds. I have put 500 miles on the wheels and found them to spin up very rapidly. I have a set of Mavic Ksyrium SL wheels and the Spinergy Stealth SS wheels are much stiffer and have no flex with my larger body weight and they weigh only 50 grams more than the Ksyriums. (Stealth SS = 1740gm, Ksyrium SL = 1690 gm).
My opinion is that the Spinergy Stealth SS wheels are equal in overall performance if not greater in performance on flat rides. Climbing performance the Spinergy Stealth SS wheels are more responsive out of the saddle because of their stiffness. Overall climbing performance there is no difference. So far I am very pleased with the Spinergey Stealth SS.
Strengths: Spins up very fast. No flex. Light for carbon aero wheels that are not full carbon.
Weaknesses: Stiffness of wheels produces a stiffer ride.
