I have the racing 7 CX's which have been excellent. covered loads of mileage on them since I got them Easter last year, still true and still going strong and I don't always stay on tarmac with them either... ().

Decent budget wheel.
Bloody loud freehub though

You won't need a bell.

You won't need a bell.

don't bet on that. my fulcrum 7 cx's have gotten very noisy after 15 months use in all seasons but pedestrians still have no idea I am there and walk out in front of me unless I say something. apparently something clicking behind them does not mean a bike!

Mostly happy with mine (normal Racing 7, not CX), but they did go slightly out of true after a few hundred miles. Very easily sorted with a spoke key but it shouldn't happen.

If I'm being picky I would say that the joint in the rim on my set wasn't particularly smooth. Now I've used the wheels a bit the step has smoothed out. Perhaps not 100% on the quality control, and if I had more time and was buying again I'd look into getting a handbuilt set made up instead. It's made me wary of buying more expensive wheels as if they can't get the basics right I'm not encouraged to spend more with them.
