Great Rolling Wheels

I've driven it about 200 miles in the last week. So far they have been flawless. They were well packed with skewers, brake pads, stem extender and spare spokes. They were as faithful as can be right out of the box. The pads are white and appear to work fairly well, but leave a lighter color where they rub against the basalt pads. I haven't tried them in big canyons yet. They make that signature carbon wheel sound as you cruise down the street. If it's not obvious at first glance, the sound will give them away to people who will recognize it. The front hub is completely silent, as expected. The rear pawls are a bit louder than my old hub at slower speeds, but I can't hear anything over the wind noise except at low speeds. The hub has more interaction points than my old hub, so that's a definite plus. The weight of the front and back corresponds to the product description. The kit ended up losing about 300 grams when switching from some of the older Ksyrium wheels, even with a slightly heavier rear cassette. On the first ride I did with them 20 miles, I increased my average speed from 19.9 mph to 21.3 over the same route. Not very scientific, but since I haven't had to average 20 km/h on this route, credit to the wheels. I wanted a pair of aero wheels to make it easier to go faster without writing nasty writing on them. It's exactly what I wanted and at a very good price.

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Hard to say
