    Certainly light for the money, but no idea on hub quality. Spokes are good, as are the rims - but again, build could be bad.

    I have these albeit with a 20mm Maxle on the front. They are very light but have remained true despite some solid abuse. Plenty of other wheels are getting on for a kilo heavier as a pair. They look good too.

    That price is in line with what Halfords quoted me for a second set, for slicks (pre road bike purchase).
