Top wheels
Very fine wheels with super good value for money. They ride noticeably more comfortably than my old aluminium rims, speed is also easier to hold. Only downside is that they are more sensitive in strong side winds (harder to keep your handlebars, bars exactly straight). Nevertheless, I would buy them again in a heartbeat, and I live on the coast where the wind is often strong.
- Comfort
- Good price quality
- Sleek appearance
- Speed
- Slightly wind sensitive
Positively surprised
Easy to install tires (TR). Will see breaking surface afer 1000km to be sure if they are worth the price (now, only 1 ride completed). Experience? Cross wind is not a problem, easier to keep the speed.
- appearance
- reasonable price

Bad start and eventual top performance in the Ardennes
Had problems with brake edge rear rim where it wore away very quickly after 8-10 rides in flat Netherlands with some minimal rain. (Blocks supplied) Solved by Mantel/Elite. Actually wanted to write giant burn-off review because of disappointment. But after replacement: Also did Ardennes trip in Stavelot with bits of aggressive cobblestones in the village and very fast descents in the area at 70kmh. Rims survived all that and braked very well and controllably with my weight. No discernible wear front or rear. Cornering also good. (Dry weather, BBB carbostop blocks, 25mm tyres) So very satisfied in the end after a very bad start. *Sounds like a fanboy review but am so surprised in the end that the rims survived Stavelot. Hence the effort for a review.
- Affordable
- Brakes much better than expected in mountains/hills
- Can handle heavy rider (100kg)
- Has survived cobblestones!
- Nice
- Had problem with brake rim (fixed)
- Hubs have no aero shape
