I've been running a pair for a few years now, I've got about 12,000 miles on mine without needing a single truing or repair, although the freehub body had to be replaced (part was $50 from Vuelta) because the cassette I had on it was gouging it to bits. The freehub is soft aluminum and the cassette was Ultegra 6700, for what that's worth. I've got a SRAM cassette on there now and I've had better luck with the gouging.


As far as weight goes, I've fluctuated between 170 and 185 since I got the wheels, and I've never had any issues. I've raced on them many times, hit plenty of potoles, and commuted with a 20+ pound backpack without giving it a second thought. I'd imagine there must be an upper limit of body weight (Maybe 230 pounds? Just a guess), but I'm not approaching it so they've been great. I'd definitely recommend these wheels, and I'd think that the newest versions would be wider rims as well which is nice for comfort.
