I know naff all about wheels.
On my Croix de Fer I have some Kinesis CX Crosslight wheels which are a lot lighter than the stock wheels and I pop them on when I'm doing long road rides, rather than commuting/touring.
Thinking of doing similar for my partners Croix De Fer but baulking at the price of the new Crosslights wheelset.
Can someone tell me why these are rubbish? Same weight as the Crosslights, but hugely cheaper:
