Awesome service. Ordered late Sunday night, and arrived within 36 hours. Real bargain to boot.

Very very nice :-)

Love the fact the valves are level with the tyre writing

Top class - well done mate - enjoy ;)

Interesting... you jumping on them anytime soon? Looks like they're gathering some good reviews, and the price point is pretty attractive (esp. with the discounts on Merlin website).

:ugeek:

Picking up a new bikeon Saturday, so weather permitting, will try them out Sunday, and Monday. I'll let you know.

Agree about reviews, and pricing etc. Good deal at Merlin.

Aluminium braking surface was key factor for me, but black and red also matches bike.

I'm so shallow! :lol:

Any luck here? I think I'm getting close to decision on these (found some good reviews online too), but would be great to get a firsthand opinion.

They are on the bike now, but I must confess that I haven't used them in anger, only on the rollers.

Initial impressions are good, well made, feel nice and strong, spokes all taught, wheels run true. Lighter than I though they would be. Continental tyres fitted well, tight, but no levers required.

I'll update you when I given them a go, hopefully on the weekend.
