I have a pair bought cheap through a friend ($2200 retail vs $900 new) and want to run them in cross. Any thoughts. The make of the wheel may lead to water and debris inside the carbon sheathing. Any reports on these wheels in cross?<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>JGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821760991275369602.post-47681731917282056972008-10-13T12:44:00.000-05:002008-10-13T12:44:00.000-05:00would you give the same high praises to their C38 ...would you give the same high praises to their C38 wheelset?

They've been cutting through slop and dust ever since, without a problem. Overall I'm lockstep w this review, they make good wheels at great value. The stickers come right off with your fingernail btw. Personally, my take on carbon wheels at a local cross race is kinda like bkw's perspective of 6k rigs at the local crit. Unless your leading the A field and or have full team support, spares of everything, etc it's folly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821760991275369602.post-89314143596111240282008-06-03T20:46:00.000-05:002008-06-03T20:46:00.000-05:00Take a look at the WilliamsCycling.com website.
