Haven't we already beaten this horse to death (several times)?

sure wasn't very fast when they were 18.

Ive been on my Rev X's for 1 year now, best wheels I've owned.



ZERO problems.



Great road/training wheels.



That site is BS

I'm thinking that the Rev-X's and Spinergy's unique design issues (or problems) such as the 4 paired spokes, the rivets at the rim-spoke interface, and quality control problems led to the kinds of failures described on the site.

Other all-carbon wheels seem to have more robust designs that would not be as susceptible to the potential resonance problems, failure from spoke-rim separation/spoke cracking, and the risk of complete collapse of the front wheel. I have no data to support these claims, but it seems that the Rev-X's have some pretty clear flaws uncommon to other all-carbon designs.

With the carbon rim/metal spoke wheels, like the site said, the wheel would not be as likely to fail in the same catastrophic, sudden way that an all-carbon spoke wheel would fail.

My god ... some people believe anything and everything they read.

And, Yes Rich... this horse has been beaten senseless...

I agree with Gary. I had a rear wheel (used for racing only) for 3 years. Zero problems. I also have some friends who train and race on them year after year without any problems.
