What do you think of Weyless products offered by Supergo? Any opinions such as stability, reliability or anything else that comes to mind? I have seen these products for quite a while now but never heard any feedback.

Seem to be pretty middle of the road stuff.Pretty go prices.
I use the Weyless Stem Cap Adaptor Kit on my commuter bike, which is a Surly Cross Check. It let me swap out the stem cap and get a few inches of bar space out in front of the actual handlebars, but not too far out front to get in the way.
I've been very happy with it to mount my Performance Dual Viewpoint Pro lights and my Panoram computer. I hang the lights on the left half of the Weyless bar so they hang below, offset to the center (and strap the thumb switch to my bar), and I mount the Panoram on the right side of the Weyless, offset to the center. The lights are unobstructed and don't reach down far enough to touch my fenders or anything else they could bother.
That's the only Weyless product I own, and I did get it from Supergo. It's among the best $15 I spent on my ride for the convenience it's provided me. And it seems to take a reasonable beating with no problems.
I would say Weyless is middle to low end depending what you purchase. I have a weyless stem and it has been stiff and fairly light so I have no complaints. They have some nice carbon bottle cages for $20 while every other one out there (that looks exactly the same) is $40-50.. I think you would have to compare a specific item by them.

I was actually thinking of purchasing the Weyless Korsa Aero wheelset for around 250.00. I have no desire to race but I love a "spirited" ride. Does anyone know of this set?

Weyless products are a good middle- of- the- road line that Supergo exclusively offers. I frequently make it out to their Santa Monica store and have looked at the stuff. I believe they're resonably priced for what you get.

Right now I'm rockin a Weyless Stem, and Handlebar setup on my Lemond... so far, so good... 700 miles in and no problems... it is decent stuff.. not top of the line.. but fairly light, and gets the job done

I just bought supergo's carbon bike. It has a weyless fork, stem, seat post on it. Havent had a problem with any of it. Probably one of those things where just because a Lance Armstrong,Tyler Hamilton, Simoni, Ullrich dont ride it, means its crap. Its not the top of the line, but it gets the job done well for me.

both the weyless 191 and 200 handlebars, and the forte equivalent, have been recalled. These handle bars can develope invisible cracks which could lead to catastrophic failure resulting in serious injury or death... spend the extra dough and get a deda, easton, or another reputable manufacturer.

I have heard decent stuff about there components (stem, bars etc.). I However, what I have heard about there rims is not very good. am also getting new rims and have been shopping around. For about the same price you can get yourself a set of Open Pros, Velocity's, or Neuvation M28s.
