Hi, has anyone purchased or tried out these wheels? They look quite light wheels for the price. (£399) I can't find any reviews of the wheelset elsewhere :shock: Thanks

    Tubs or clinchers?

    millions of people have the tubs.

    I am afraid I have not tried them myself but what I have heard is that they are a very solid and light wheel set, I personally don't like the decals that come with them but you can buy the plain carbon ones (for that stealth look!! :twisted: ) The lack of decals also saves at least 100grams I think... for £400 nothing comes close to that price so whats the worst that could happen, they also appear to have quite a strong re sale value if you choose to sell them afterwards. I am probably going to try the un branded 50s this summer!!

    on another slightly unrelated note I know another person who has the 82/101 TT wheels (unbranded) and the fist time he put them on his TT bike he dropped his 10 mile TT time PB by 30secs! Plus they look amazing on his black bike!!

    Hope that helps.
