Sure, they are the 2010 ones though, don't know how much difference there is:

If you're looking at factory wheels then get these http://www.cycledivision.co.uk/product-info.php?pid133.html otherwise go handbuilt with a DA9000 hub, dt comp spokes, brass nipples and a decent tubeless ready rim like the H+S or Pacenti SL23 and run them tubeless with the new Ultremo

i sent mine back...

reviews in CW had CX-Ray spokes, they now use Pillars (they are 1/2 the costs of cx-ray - not saying the pillars are bad just not what was ordered), plus actually these wheels are very similar to lots of other badged engineered wheels using the same bits, kinlin rims, pillar spokes and bitrex hubs and are [i]very[/i] simialr to the sub £200 planet-x wheels..

but they were light and the QR levers were nice..

Well I bough some Ksyrium Elites (second Hand) a few weeks ago and i'm very impressed, light, stiff and look good.

I just wanted a reliable pair of wheels though.
