Does anyone know anything about this wheelset? I have seen Easton Circuit Comp, Easton/Velomax Comp, Velomax/Easton Comp, Easton Circuit II, velomax circuit. I have seen them in black and one set on ebay was silver. I THINK I would like to buy a silver set for all around fun/competitive riding. I occasionally do century's and weigh 190 Lbs. Can anyone tell me more about this wheelset and if they like it?

I've had a set of Velomax Circuits for over 18 months and they're great wheels. The only maintenance was a rear wheel re-true after the first few months of riding and nothing else since. They're good looking, light enough without being super light and I weigh 220 lbs which means they're plenty strong.

Thanks for the reply. Do you know if there is a difference in the Easton circuit versus the velomax circuit? Are these the same wheels with a different name on the rims?

If they made changes or improvements, I'm not aware of them. To the best of my knowledge, when Easton bought Velomax, they simply changed the stickers.

My Velomax Circuits went on the Cannondale which I lent to a triathlete friend. They are solid, slightly aero and stiff. They aren't the lightest wheels, though, at 1700+ grams.
