Strengths: Light, fast engagement, stiff, smokin hot lookin, easy to relace (when blowing up hoops), easy to adjust and work on or access to service ie lube etc...Weaknesses: noneBottom Line: Bottom line is I have 2 sets, 1 with dh tires and 1 with single ply casings. I like them better then my king/mavic combos. Easy to maintain and a exteremly fast rolling wheelset. Best to date as well as the craftmanship is second to none. Its a pleasure and a joy to run these as well as the demand attention anywhere you go.

from Roseville, CADate Reviewed: July 23, 2007
Strengths: Fast engagement, good looks, stiff enoughWeaknesses: Hub takes time to break in. Until then, hub drags.Bottom Line: These wheels are great. Fast engagement, stiff and solid. The first 2 weeks riding these wheels, spokes came loose and the hubs had alot of drag. LBS retensioned (recommended by I9) the wheels and the hubs broke in. Now the rear hub buzzes like a swarm of angry bees coming down the trail.
Only 3 stars for value as they things retail for alot. I, luckily, got a team hookup or I wouldn't have even thought about them.
