Well respected wheel builder and Bikeradar contributor ugo.santalucia reckons these wheels are a bag and strictly for skinny lads.

That's better than any "official" review, as it sums up the technicality of the wheel construction.

Ugo is a knowledgeable man, I got a good bit of help from him when I was building my wheels.

light & strong with fancy hubs seems to be the gist.

Light, strong and cheap! They said it couldn't be done. I thought you had to pick any two!

They might not be worth a grand but they're certainly worth €250, I've already ordered mine.

Not as strong as they made out if you believe the above.

Many thanks.

Probably close to €21 then?? Is this good value???

I have a Garmin 200 strapped on the handlebars with the rings as supplied in the box. Would like to move it out onto an arm like the above link... but is €21 worth it??

I think you can pick up the plastic ones for €10-€15 on line.

This one is alluminium and similar to the genuine Garmin ones which retail for €30+ so I picked one up. Whether they're worth it I'm not sure but I was in the market for one.

Barfly is another alternative. If it breaks they replace it. I have a couple of them.

have the plastic one. and yes they are worth it. My LBS has SRAM ones for €20.

If it's this one they're a great stand and well worth the €20.

A good buy so. Mine is out the back the last 2 years and not a spot of rust to be seen and still functioning perfectly.
