Pros

  • Proven hub longevity
  • Class leading quick- release skewers

Cons

  • Uninspiring ride

See verdict and spec

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

While there's nothing 'wrong' with the C50s, they rarely made the testers wax lyrical. It's a testament to the quality of the rest of the wheels at this price point that a wheel that's as solid and reliable - and with no obvious flaws - as the C50, falls by the wayside.

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. Here is the link to Reynolds - http://www.reynoldscycling.com/index.php?p_resource=items_wheels_item&p_itm_pk=673
