Thanks Citius, just going be used for evryday long rides. I may give them a try buthen again i might just bite the bullet and get a set of Mavic'sRun of the mill Chinese stuff. Also available direct from China without the logos. Those kinds of wheels are generally ok, depending on what your intended use is...
buy them, get the spoke tensions checked over by your lbs and ride them - people who have never ridden them will come up with the usual Chinese remarks.....but just ignore themThanks Citius, just going be used for evryday long rides.

If you plan to stretch to mavic money then check out VO5 wheels. They are strong, well built, good surface, well moulded (a bit pulsey on the front) and make a fab noise.Thanks Citius, just going be used for evryday long rides.

Thanks Citius, just going be used for everyday long rides. I
Is carbon (deep or otherwise) really appropriate here?
I was under the impression that deep rims (usually these are carbon) will suffer at slow speeds, climbing and in wind - plus are often heavier. they seem to have their place, but an everyday long ride is not a normal use case.It's neither appropriate nor inappropriate. It's just another choice of rim material. A bit like saying 'is a carbon frame really appropriate'...
What is appropriate now a days !!!! but they look good.Is carbon (deep or otherwise) really appropriate here?

For my part, I can say they are lighter, seem unaffected by crosswinds (and we have had a fair bit of this lately to test) and climb just as slowly as my old rims.I was under the impression that deep rims (usually these are carbon) will suffer at slow speeds, climbing and in wind - plus are often heavier. they seem to have their place, but an everyday long ride is not a normal use case.
