Alu wheels dont seem to last me a season. I went through 3 rear wheels last season (albeit its a long season here in the Okanagan) I've always gone through wheels, must be my riding style. I finally decided on a set of Unions on Hadleys, and I have a season on them, and havent once touched the spokes. They remain dead straight, and unfazed by my lack of talent and skill.
They are more stiff than any alu wheel ive ridden before, for me, they work great, and I've grown accustomed to the stiffness, etc. When I switch to my Fugitive on I9 Enduros, it feels a little more vague, but after a km or 2, I dont notice it at all.
Over all, the additional cost of the WAO wheels should pay for them selves in potential alu replacements in 2 years
