2006.0. "Wheel Evaluation" by GNPIKE::TANSKI () Thu Jul 18 1991 18:31

	I'm trying to evaluate the wheels that came with my bike. That is I like
to determine the quality of the wheels, what wheels they are comparable to from 
other companies and what they are best suited for. The rims are Ambrosio Elite
Durex 32 hole rims. The spokes are DT stainless and the Hubs are Ultegra.

 	I currently ride about 100 miles a week and compete in Bi/triathlons and
the odd TT. I will eventually pick up another set of wheels more suitable for
the type of racing that I am planning to do. So I'm more interested in how my 
current wheels are suited for training.

	Any help would be much appreciated.

The wheels sound OK.  No big problems.

But what really matters is how well they were built and
that's hard to tell from here.
