Pro-Lite wheels

Pro-Lite wheels, does anyone use them and do they come recommended?
Cheers

Was looking at the Luciano's but decided on the Planet X Model B's in the end.

A serious racer friend of mine, bought a set of pro-lite Bracciano's and rates them very highly. I notice they've come down in price as well, £250 from chain reaction cycles. Don't know if they can be beat for price and weight, 1472g a set. Definitely my next upgrade once my balance recovers from recent bike related purchases.

The Pro-Lites and the Model B's are pretty much the same wheel.

Same rims and spokes - just slight differences in hubs (the equivalent Pro-Lite wheel to the Model B's sell for £250+ and the only difference I could see was the rim decals on the Pro-Lites)

Which model Prolites do you mean?

How have you found them? I'm thinking of getting a pair myself. Those or a pair of Fulcrum Racing 5's.

Anyone tried the Gavia 50mm wheels?
Clincher or Tub?
Alu or carbon brake surface?

Have to say initial impact I am very pleased, they ride well (all be it I have only gone for a short sharp spin). Seem stiff and light for the cost and definitely quicker than my old Shimano RS10's, in fact they are lightening in comparison.
Very please for the spend and they look great on too, but I will be going on a long ride this weekend with them to really find out how they ride.

Have to add I ordered them on the Thursday at 1pm (ish) and they were here the next morning, fantastic service from Ribble there

I believe the Treviso's are the same wheel as the Stelvio's which Wiggle are selling for £195 and which originally retailed at £300 - so seems like a good buy.
