Some wheelsets have pretty dismal spoke tension. These are good.
As true and well tensioned now as when I started using them.
Par for the course.
Big tyre volume is a bonus.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
They're good £150 wheels.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
I like bigger tyres. These rims sort of provide that, without the weight penalty of extra actual rubber. Plus they can be used tubeless, which I look forward to trying.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product
Spoke count is a bit stingy for workhorse wheels.

I don't think bladed spokes or a 30mm rim depth are a big deal on wheels like these. I'd rather that small amount of extra weight be used for extra spokes and thus long-term reliability. But it's a minor point: they're very good wheels.
