Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Frustrated that I can't find reviews anywhere on these wheels so I pull the trigger and be an experimental guinea pig. I've ordered from a seller in the UK(not probikekit) brand new and will post review soon for those of you who are interested. I love the hubs on this set... In fact, the only I bought these is because of the hubs. I think I'm a hub guy...ok...J have lot for nipples too.

Yeah I'm thinking of these wheels too. If they are like the 7800 wheels more than the R550s they should be pretty good.

I have the R550 right now....and will try to show a comparison if you're interested once I've got the R600. I hope it's more like the 7800 rather than an improvement on the R550, which I expect to be the role of the R560 coming out this year(or last year's).

conversion to 280 USD from a private seller I met on weight weenie forum. Interestingly, a long 2 page post is currently up from an OP over there asking if anyone knows anything about these wheels and so far no one answered yes or have had experience with them. I'll be this forum's first and foremost guinea pig for sure.

Probikekit ruined me...and now I'm beginning to think that buying from the UK is ok...but shipping cost is high....but that doesn't stopped me.

You can buy these wheels new on ebay usually for $250-$300.

seems like a deal, like I said hopefully they share similarities with the 7800 wheelset (which is a good set)
