I love my Orion II. If they were good enough for Bicycle John they're good enough for MOP me. And yes, they seem to spin forever, so I just wanted to comment here if anyone is looking for a good all around wheel. It was also pointed out to me they are slightly more aero than the Mavic Aksium race wheels even thoughit is not a bladed spoke.

I run them with Michelin Krylion Carbons.

Wheels are still sitting pretty in my house. I am dreaming of mtb riding so someone please talk to me. Great complete 700c wheels for cheap!!!

I certainly wouldn't use Mavic Aksiums as an aero baseline...those things are shaped like a brick.

tru dat. but going into Oceanside 70.3 these were my only two wheelsets. being a reasonable individual, I acquires carbon tubulars 3 days before the race and the point became moot.

You are right about aksium being bricks. These wheels are more in line with Mavic SSL's and hundreds of dollars cheaper. Just check out the reviews. Thanks
