I can't find any review on the 6700 wheelset but they are a good price on Merlin. Does anyone have any experience with them.?
I'm also tempted by the RS80s which have lots of good reviews but they are £100 more.

    Brilliant wheels at the price - light, strong and fairly stiff. I have had mine for about 6 months now (about 3000 miles) and never needed to go near them with a spoke key. I havent tried going tubeless as I dont see any advantage on a road bike but the option is nice. I dont see anything around to compete at the Merlin price. ps I dont work for Merlin!

    a mate has some and they are well finished and certainly look good

    they weren't perfectly true out of the box but a tweak sorted that out - just remember to turn the spoke key the other way as the nipples work differently to normal nipples

    I'm tempted to get a pair for the commuter, and I'll definitely go tubeless as I'm a big fan of them.
