Aerospokes!!

So, I bet most of the fg riders know aerospoke. But anyone of you know about Aerospoke Superlight? Any one ridden on it? How do you feel or think about it?

Here's a link for it.

Heavy for carbon wheels imo.

Weigh as much as Soul 4.0 AL clinchers and cost more than twice as much.

Soul wheels are pretty damn tough from what I've heard.

I'm pretty sure the global cycling community has given these rims a "meh".

I've been way stoked on my Kinlins, they were very cheap, light and I've read a lot of good things about them. People on the weightweenies forums really like them.

Soul 4.0 blacks weigh 1680 g without rim tape/veloplugs. Williams System 38s weigh 1465g:

Soul 4.0 are AL, what's your point to comparing them to the lighter, but more expensive Williams wheels? I was pointing out that the aerospokes were heavy for carbon.

The Soul C4.0 are lighter than those Williams for the same price.

Reynolds are really nice. A fellow teammate of mine on our cycling team got some new Reynolds carbon clinchers on her Trek Madone 4 series last season and I was soooo jealous!

Sram S80's aren't too bad either...
