These wheels are being sold off at the moment.
Anyone views?
And weight? Bikeradar suggest just over 2300g inc qr. Evans say less than 2000g.

Don't know about weight. Bought mine as a stop gap. Done about 400km fast(ish) single-speed XC riding with plenty of mud. Managed to put a significant bend in the front wheel on the second outing but this was my fault. Hubs seem great (sealed bearings, all still running smooth). The freewheel is holding up to the greater loads of SS riding. QRs are a bit 'industrial'. Rear spokes now need a bit of a tweak (to be expected following bedding in). I am 88kg, wheels are on a rigid bike. In short - I'd say they're ok for non-racing XC duties, and good value.
You can buy these for a fiver less on ebay. I was considering them but the weight put me off. I ended up going for Shimano MT55's from Merlin for £125.
i know - bikeradar say the rear is 1300g with qr. Thats pretty heavy for a £300 rrp wheelset.
So any weights from real world users?
