Strengths:    Super strong and durable wheels, Light weight and stable/stiff. High strength to weight ratio.

Weaknesses:    only one small thing I could find, can not remove valve core to add more stans. no big deal though.

Bottom Line:   
I have ridden these 29er wheels hard and they have withstood the punishment. Amazing light weight wheel set. (1440 gr) This is the best upgrade you good do for you self. saved 2 lbs of rotating weight going to these and they ride stable/stiff. No flex like on some lighter weight alloy wheels. Priced competitively or lower than some of the other carbon wheels out there on the market. Don't be afraid to pull the trigger on carbon wheels. They are here to stay. I rode these 112 miles in rocky technical terrain and they held up beautifully. Totally sold on these wheels. I weigh 150, but I think they make even more sense for heavier riders looking for a light weight wheel set and get the strength and stiffness.
