What did you pay? What are the specs? They sure do look nice.
I just bought a set of Neuvation M28 Aero's off Ebay as a 3rd set of wheels to float between 2 bikes. $209 from Getaway. I was sold on the sales hype and figured what the hey....even if they are junk, I could always use them on the trainer.
Sometimes it's fun to take a flyer....

MAN! I was looking at getting some Xaero wheels i nthe future...but not with those reviews!.....
Although the Xaero carbon SS on the website says it has Steel spokes, and the RBR.com reviewers were complaining about the PBO spokes?
These wheels would be 98grams lighter than my current race wheels, yet more aero. (30 vs 45mm)
The Tiliums are the ones with PBo spokes it seems.
Hav eyou bought yourself the Xaero light?

Paid $123.50 + s/h
and about that review, Three people have said anything out of the thousands that have the same wheel. Two of the guys didnt like the wheel and they could probably afford $2000 wheel sets.
One of the guys was pleased after he had the wheel repaired by spinergy free of cost. So I guess only time will tell, I will ride it for a while and see what happens, i have a spin tri spoke on my rear wheel and this will go on the front, and if it is junk I am sure I can sell it on ebay :D

I think that Spinergy has made some on the run changes and improvements. I think early complaints were about hub quality. My friend had a set replaced under warranty.

I have those wheels. They are good wheels. Not in love with them but they are strong. I use them for CX.
PBO spokes, Ambrosio rim and I think a White Industries hub.
The thing that usually sucks on Spinergy are their cheesy QR's but that's easily changed.
Service from Spinergy would be very difficult. They are not good with that.
They are fine and for the price you paid, you got a good deal.

I have the slightly newer Xaero-X's on my Bianchi. They are light and fast, and so far have held up on the rough roads around here. I took the decals off, since they weren't on that well to begin with. The all black, except for the machined braking surface, looks cool against the Celeste paint.
