Does anyone have any knowledge about or experience with Velocity Uriel wheelsets? The Uriel has the Fusion rims with black bladed spokes and the Velocity sealed bearing hubs.

Weight: Rear 982g Front 740g
20 Hole Front, 24 Hole Rear

For details, see https://velocityusa.com/wheels/road-uriel.php

$320 for the set at Bullteksports

Any opinions? If so, how would you compare these to, say, Velomax Tempest 2s?

I have the Spartacus Pros with 16 spokes front 20 rear. 700 miles and are as true as the first day.
The uriels are a little lighter but very similar. I believe they are great wheels.

Thanks for the input. How do your Velocity's compare with other wheelsets you've ridden?

I come from MTB so these are my first skinny wheels but I've been pretty hard with them; I lost the pavement once drinking water and blew a tyre on the rough - thought it was the end of them - I also usually ride through a 50 feet of pebbles both ways on my way to rides... and like I said before, the wheels are still within 0.5mm.
The Spartacus have the Deev V rim as opposed to the fusion 30mm against 25mm. that may give them some extra strenght.
The hubs are great. The front wheel spins forever.
I think for the money they are a great deal.
