Reynolds Strike/Assault Combo Review
Reviewer: Cycling Weekly
28-Jun-2012 | 1 Review
Rating:
Pros
- Full-carbon clincher
- Good weight for rim depth (rear was deepest
- on test).
- Good braking, even in wet
Cons
- Ride, acceleration didn?t live up to expectations
- Flex in front wheel under cornering loads
In the world of competitive cycling, deep-section carbon wheels are ubiquitous. Road races, time trials and the front end of Continental sportives (even the hilliest) are dominated by hoops with a 50mm-plus profile and made from the black stuff
Verdict
A big-name brand at a great price means you should have complete confidence in this carbon clincher. A great all-rounder that performs well in crosswinds.

I've just bought a new set of these and can not give you a ride review but I did notice that your review had the weight listed at 1670.2 g while the Reynolds website has the weight at 1565 g.
