I've got a pair of the Ascent Comps. I've said it before, and I'll say it again -- Velomax makes the world's best wheels, at any price. The hubs are a generation ahead of what others are making. The spoke design basically eliminates breakage, yet keeps the wheel very light.

You will love these wheels and you'll never "outgrow" them. I've owned every major brand of wheels and custom wheels over the past 15 years, and Velomax are the best.

The circuit comp is hands down the best value on the market. I have a set on my Vortex with 10,000+ miles on them and they have yet to be touched by a spoke wrench! Fantastic wheelset!

test rode the orion IIs, great wheel, stiff and responsive.

I put them on my QR Caliente for training wheels (you can get a new set for ~$250 on Ebay. I don't see any there now, but check back regularly). They're great training wheels, and I've used them for a couple races. My only gripe is that because the rear hub is slightly wider than normal, I can't run a 12/25 cassette because my chain rubs on the bottom of the rear seatstay when in the 12-tooth cog. I talked to Velomax about this, and their only suggestion was that I run an 11/23 cassette (a lame work-around for an obvious design problem). This situation left me unhappy with Velomax as a company, and I probably won't buy from them again (which is a shame, because I *do* like their wheels).

You can't go wrong for the price.

My wife has 3500 miles on her Velomax Circuits. They came with her bike. Haven't touched them. Still perfect. In fact, they are so good it is hard to justify the cost of race wheels. Sure race wheels are a little bit lighter and a little bit more aero, but not much, and for several hundred dollars the improvement would be minimal.
