Note:These are quite good for being stock wheelsets with straight gauge spokes, and they will give good service for most riders/applications.

Heavier riders and those carrying heavy loads, for instance touring cyclists, are likely to find they need higher quality (like models WE632 or WE635) wheels with butted spokes.
