To weight wheenies it's a heavy wheelset. I'm a clydesdale so I needed something strong and beefy. These are actually lighter than the stock RS10s though. Lighter and a lot stronger. I'm also using 36 spokes front and rear. If I get my weight into non-clyde territory over the next couple of years I'll probably build up a cyclocross bike with these wheels and buy something more weight wheenie friendly for the CAAD9.
