Review by Sperry52

Nice wheels on a budget
by Sperry52

I purchased this as backup wheels for my Trek Domane S6.

They were lighter than I thought and spun well. A little tough to install tires on but I managed.

Good upgrade from the substandard wheelsets equipped on most bikes. Lightweight, bomb proof, and good looking.

Had a set of these before they rebranded them from Ultegra to the RS500. I ended up tacoing the front wheel in a sweet maneuver and had to replace the wheelset.

These are great quality. Excellent weight to price ratio, and as I mostly ride these on gravel, good durability too! So far at least.

Seems Unquestionably the Best Choice for Me

I've had these now for a few months and probably have 500 or so miles on them consisting of several 25-ish mile rides and a few 50 miles rides. I've had no problems with them. They are smooth, fast, and attractive. I would have never believed that wheels, particularly at this price, would have an appreciable effect on my speed. But then there I was, looking down at the computer, ride after ride, until I became convinced that I had picked up 1-2mph. And the old wheels weren't particularly heavy!

There are lighter and faster wheels but get to a significantly better wheel, you would probably need to double the price and then some.

So, if you are a casual rider who needs to replace their wheels and wouldn't mind a modest increase in performance, get these instead of the bargain basement wheels. If you have an entry-midlevel bike with stock 2000 gram wheels, this would be a sensible upgrade (and weight saver) for those without unlimited budgets.

The hub is quiet-ish, not silent, but not annoying.

Good Value for Mid Range replacement Wheel.

The wheel set arrived well packed, true and in perfect shape. Noticed when spun the rear wheel it didn't continue rotating very long and was noisy. Possibly the bearing seal were dragging. After a hundred miles the drag went away but the noise from the hub remained. I will take them apart for inspection or have a bike shop take a look.

I have several hundred miles on these and like them. Lighter than most at the price point. Quality manufacturing. Hubs roll effortlessly!

Great wheelset!

Was doing an Ultegra upgrade and it matched the drivetrain perfectly. Very light, stiff and doesn't break the bank.

Ive put a couple hundred miles on these wheels. No problems so far. Much smoother braking than my stock rims. I ride 3-5 times a week, 20-30 miles per ride. I would purchase these again.

Not an Ultegra quality product that Im used to seeing. Both hubs roll like an egg. Very poor machining... wheels cant be trued due to the hoops abnormalities.
