Review on Vuelta Built Alloy Clincher Wheelset by John Springer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Clydesdale Rider Solid Wheelset

Good strong and stiff wheelset. Compared to my old bikes they are about 1 pound heavier and overall as a Clydesdale racer I don't mind a pound. I'm really liking them so far and I'm looking forward to riding them with confidence in my first century of the season in two weeks' time. Updated Rating! I will not change the stars at all. Today, while driving, the spoke on my rear wheel finally burst. Considering I've ridden them about 1900 miles without checking it, I think that says a lot about these wheels. I was really looking forward to a good ride today but had to get back home. Better to break a spoke on a steep climb than on a steep descent! I cannot stress enough how durable these wheels are! riding on people. ride up!

Pros
  • Handcrafted: 700C alloy wheelset, Compatibility: Shimano/SRAM, 8/9/10/11 speed
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for seniors
