I keep seeing adverts for these wheels on here and on other cycling web-sites and was wondering if anyone had any experience of them at all.

    At 20 CX Ray spokes at the rear, I would only advise it if you are very light, under 70 Kg... if you are a powerful rider I fear they'll be too flexy and in the long run probably give you troubles.
    I suspect the rim is not the lightest, otherwise with that spoke count and CX Ray they should weigh 1400 grams and not 1530... alternatively the hubs are heavy, which is the best case scenario as weight in the hub doesn't really matter that much and maybe they have bigger, better bearings. I suspect it is the former though...
    I would have rather used a lighter rim and 24 spokes...
    Anyway, all speculations, the price is pretty damn good!
