Great wheels and excellent communication from Mikes

"Running the wheels on my gravel bike and love them so far. Hold speed well and confidence inspiring on twisting NC mountains descents. This was my first purchase from Mikes and the communication during the ordering process was impressive. I routinely order from the big online guys and Mikes communication was the best."

Next day delivery, above expectations.

Great wheelset

"Purchased this set on 180 hubs for my Spec Aethos after using the previous 40|44 model for almost two years and now on another bike. The 42|49 is a bit lighter in spite of deeper profile; it is also slightly wider outwards and would be favored by 30C tires in my opinion. It strong enough to handle rough pavement yet comfortable and offers a better than good balance for pedaling uphill while keeping a deep enough profile for flat roads. If you are looking for an all-around wheelset I'd go for this one. Besides, customer support and warranty from Reserve is one of - if not - the best in the market."

"Have them on my new factor ostro vam, absolutely unbelievable ride. Super fast and zero issues with crosswinds on big descents."

Great Wheels - get great hubs

"Great wheelset for wider tires 28-30mm for road. Purchased with the DT 180EXP which makes a huge difference. Go for premium hubs with any wheel purchase."
