Pros

Fast-rolling wheelset
Very competitive weight
Good value

Cons

Not the most comfortable
Resin visible on carbon-aluminium join

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

Performed well across the board. They carry good speed on the flat, giving a fast sensation that's not just a flywheel effect as they're fairly light too. My only real gripe is a poor quality finish.

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.
