Reynolds Alta Race wheels? Anyone?..Bueller?..

[Wayne77]

Has anyone ridden these? They look pretty nice and are about the same weight as a set of Ksyrium Sl's for a few hundred less. They have the same hubs as the carbon Stratus hoops, but use a 31 mm profile aluminum rim. Any comments would be appreciated. -I'm kinda worried that they might ride pretty harsh. What do you think? They would go on a Concours ti frame. I'm riding a set of Bontrager Race Lites currently.

I have ridden them they are not as stiff (harsh) as Ksyriums. They also don't have as nice a hub (rolling feel) as the Mavic. All in all a good value for training wheel. They compliment a stiff frame nicely ( I road them on a BMC team SLT for a few weeks).

(disclaimer: this is my opinion! Don't need to be told I am stupid or uninformed or that Zipp or hand built wheels are better for one reason or another)
