    I’ve been riding RS81 C24 wheels for a few months now and I’m very impressed.

    Nice and light, stiff and the carbon-alu hybrid rims feel so smooth – I had Ksyrium Elites on the same frame before and it’s a startling difference.

    Some people may consider them too narrow, but I wanted a narrow-ish rim as my frame is tight for my chosen 25mm tyres.

    Have only had experience of one broken pair. They’re a bit dated now, I think you could find something better, for less money, in the form of custom handbuilts or Campag Zonda

    Used the older version RS80s until the rims were totally worn out, loved them. Quick to accelerate, good at soaking up road chatter, hubs were properly sericeable and they weren’t even flexy given their relatively low weight.

    (As above, I was using the with 23mm tyres, so the width wasn’t an issue for me)

    The width thing is marketing shit at road pressures.

    I have heard the aluminium braking surface wears quickly.
