Experience with Planet X wheels?

[PatrickPending]

Got some model Bs in April - just done over 1000Km on them and they've been fine!

I've done about 5,000 miles in the last year on a pair of Model B's and have been really pleased with them. Very well balanced and free running. They're still just as true as when they were new despite some off roading on them. The only mildly annoying thing is the loud freewheel sound (and yes, it's Shimano).

Just an update - done 1050km on them and a rear non-drive side spoke snapped. After some time on the phone to them, I explained what happened, how long I've had them (less than a year) - only been using them since April - hopefully they're going to send me a replacement spoke (well they've said they will!)

I like the sound of a freewheel, is that normal?

Although I'm not looking at buying any more, has anybody seen the new 250gram rims? Lightest wheel for price on the market surely!

I've got a set of model B's - good wheels, strong and light.
£99, you'd be crazy not to!

Agreed. Had mine 18 months or so on my winter/commuter/training bike. Not had a single problem with them. Mine are Campag freehub, so no spline issues

I prefer a silent swish myself, but each to their own.

I checked the freehub on my model-b's and A57's last week. Each has over 2500 miles with only a little (edit: spline) damage. Although I do use a Sram casssettes now BTW.
