How about if I have not praised one single thing about the wheels, except that they are cheap, and work?
As is said in the review.....
I haven't said that they are fast. I haven't said that they are light. I haven't said that they were of anodized colouring (high quality).
I have said that the wheels are factory built, and should be hand-tensioned before use, especially for a big person, like me.
I have said that the front wheel hub axle appears to be 10mm, whereas most are 9mm.
EDIT:
I also said who tensioned them, and because that person (Vaidas) is a person I consider a pro, it may be exactly why the wheels seemed good. I would safely say that Vaidas' work made a lot of difference to how they were. If I had tensioned them, they might have gone out of true within a week. I wouldn't trust myself with something like that. I'm not experienced with wheel truing.
