"I use these as my everyday wheel. I replaced Mavic SL with these. Light and strong and spin up a treat. Paid under $500 AUS delivered and they are worth every cent. Comfy as on the bouncy and bumpy roads of Western QLD. Nice to take on those 10 to 15 % climbs either in the saddle or standing and giving it some. Combined with some Conti GP4000 S. I have about 800km on these now and I find they beat the Mavics hands down. In the cross winds and head winds we get, these cut through it like a knife. Luv em."

Quality wheels
Pros: Great Value, Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight
Cons: not available as a set
"Happy with these so far (<500km), and as with most Ultegra level kit these are almost identical to equivalent Dura Ace items (7900 C24) which my partner has, but are as usual much better value. Compared to Fulcrums these run almost silent, which is either good or bad depending on your tastes. Ride is noticeably smoother than Fulcrums (3 and 5) though this is in part due to different tyres too. Seem stiff and strong and are light enough for me. After some hub issues with Fulcrum 3 (not the 5s) hoping these will last longer. Come prefitted with rim tape, which is a nice bonus. Overall they seem great and no dramas so far."

Fantastic wheels
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable
"I ummed and aahhed a lot before plumping for these wheels. They'd been reviewed very well on internet sites, and I'm another one in their favour. A really clear comfort advantage (very smooth ride) from my Shimano WHR-550s and Easton Orions. Rides really smoothly and while it is very unscientific, on my timed rides since putting these new wheels on, I reckon I am about 2% faster (of course that may just be a new bling effect!). Good looking wheels too, with the red nipples giving it a great finish."

Fantastic Wheel
Pros: Durable, Attractive, High Quality, Lightweight
"I bought this as a replacement wheel for a friend after he had crashed and damaged his front wheel. What a purchase.
Looks sexy, rolls forever and seems as solid as a rock.
This is an extremely high quality wheel, and with the mix of carbon and alloy, is lightweight and so far has proven very durable and rugged.
The combination of silver braking surface against black rims and red nipples is an eye turner both on the road and at the cafe.
They seem to want to roll forever, and they certainly eat up the hills.
Brilliant wheel bought at a great discounted price. Love it."

RS80
Pros: Durable, Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile
"Having now ridden these wheels for over 12 months i can safely say they are the best wheels i have ever owned. They did need a little truing out of the box, but have stayed perfectly straight since.
Fast uphill, fast downhill, excellent quality for the price"

Light, Strong and Cheap
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, High Quality, Lightweight
"These wheels are great value for money. They are great for climbing and soak up the bumps well.
I'm not sure how they'd cope with heavier riders, but for me (sub 70kg), these wheels are great all rounders."

Faster !
Pros: Great Value, Lightweight
Cons: Unattractive
"Not the best looking wheel hence only 4 stars. However, whilst it may be coincidental, my times over 50km and 80km have both decreased by several minutes since fitting this wheel. Yeah I know, lots of variables, but read all the other reviews and make your own mind up."

light wheel
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, High Quality, Lightweight
"Light compared to my stock WH-R500 wheels that came on the bike.
True out of the box.
Only a couple of rides so far but they seem to do the business."

I love them
Pros: Great Value, High Quality, Lightweight
"OK the carbon is just a wrap and they aren't handbuilt, and a a little uncool but these wheels were a great upgrade to my Raleigh Carbon Comp - a great bike but very basic wheels -
No issues at all with them to date, real performance gains on the climb and acceleration. Good quality and the price is right! Recommended"

"I did my research and these did not dissapoint. I would have liked Dura-Ace however the price compared to these was way to high.
They are very lightweight, incredibly strong and great for climbing.
Shimano wheels are awesome and these are very, very good indeed"

Shimano RS80 Wheel Set
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, High Quality, Lightweight
"I replaced my RS10 wheels that came with the bike as I kept snapping spokes on the rear wheel with these RS80's. I noticed an immediate difference, they are much quicker, much lighter & smoother. They are great for climbing hills. They make riding alot easier. I would recomment these wheels to anyone. They sell for $899 AUD upwards for a set in Australia, I paid $542. As usual Wiggle came up trumps, ordered on the Thursday lunchtime & were arrived on the Monday."

Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Rugged, Lightweight, Versatile
"Well pleased with the wheels
Bought both front and rear and running with Conti Attact Force tyre set
done about 2000kms so far and still running true and strong.
The ride is good and fast and I'm sure this set up has ilifted my average speed by a least 2 kms per hour...Or am I getting fitter.
If you want to enter into the world of carbon wheel and have a budget, I don't think you can go wrong with these wheels"
