STRENGTHS - Fast, handle well (even in windy conditions), comfortable, great steel bearings, gloss black decals look understated and classy (if that's an aesthetic you like). WEAKNESSES - Easy to scuff or scratch (see tips/tricks below), installing/removing tyres can be difficult (see tips/tricks below), spokes on the ‘drive side’ of the rear wheel sit against one another and rub (put grease or wax between them). TIPS - Clean with a good quality microfibre cloth and warm water. - **Always** place cloth or thin rubber between the rim and a tyre lever to prevent damage to the rim. - **Always** place tyre beads in the deeper central channel of the rim so they have enough slack when you’re pushing them over the rim’s sidewall. You should be able to install most tyres with thumbs. - To remove a tyre, push one of the tyre beads into the central channel of the rim—this is the tyre bead you'll pull over the sidewall of the rim using tyre levers.

Love this pair of wheels

The roads I ride on are very rural when you get to a opening of a hedge/ farmers gate the crosswind is twitchy bum time. 63mm too big for me.
