A lot of people on here seem concerned about the strength of these wheels.
So, for what it's worth, I hit someone this morning who ran out from in front of moving traffic on my right. I was probably doing 15-20mph. Wheel took most of the impact, handlebars twisted 45 degrees. I weigh 13st.
Wheel is fine. Was both relieved and impressed.
Same thing happened to me 3 weeks ago with my other wheels on and I broke 3 spokes.
Can people stop jumping out in front of me please! :?

I had one of the first pairs in the country (bought Jan 08). I've ridden the hell out of them and they're fine - light, stiff enough and strangely aero feeling. Best clinchers I've owned.0
