OK, I've taken the bike out for a spin and first impressions.....wow, they certainly make the bike feel different.
So, this'll be a brief bullet point review as I'm no expert on wheels, I have however ridden a reasonable amount over the past year to year and a half (roughly 5000 miles), so have some saddle time to get a feel for this. The wheels were fitted to a Specialized Allez Sport 2013 model and its running all stock parts with some added aero bars.
Initial thoughts;
- Power feels like it gets put down onto the tarmac more quickly.
- Acceleration feels sharper and stronger.
- Climbing feels easier to maintain.
- I could stay longer out of the saddle whilst accelerating and/or climbing.
- Road vibration is more prominent, but not uncomfortable.
- Handling feels more "connected" to the road.
- Once up to speed, spinning doesn't feel that different from the AXIS wheels.
- I didn't feel any problem with crosswinds, however it wasn't a breezy evening last night so too early to say.
It'll be interesting to see if my times change when I do my usual commute. Anyway, I said it would be brief, but it should give those who are interested in these wheels some pointers. Bear in mind that I'm sure the same could be said for any other pair of wheels in the same price bracket (fulcrums, shimano's etc), this is just my take on these particular ones. Put it this way, I'm very happy that I bought them.
