My Rovals (700c] are just over 2 yrs old with 3,000 miles. Had been really happy with them until my rear wheel collapsed in 2 different places on my last ride. If I'm going spend $2500 on a set of wheels I would expect them to last longer than this.

I ordered a pair of the 650B and what they say is true. You can ride them anywhere you damn well please. It is a fast rolling quiet feel on gravel and the wider rim gives the tire a shape that maximizes tread contact for sure grip in loose road conditions. Descending on these wheels is a dream...very comfortable handling and FAST!!
