Should be fine for road slicks. Great price!

that is a great price. you can't go wrong with that for a spare set.
after a few rides have someone check the tension and they should be good to go.

Not the lightest set of wheels, but certainly the cheapest!!

Go for it!!

WOO HOO!

I have that exact set on my commuter. My only complaint is that they would not stay true. A little Locktite on each nipple fixed the problem.

*edit* I think I got mine from Jenson. Maybe the problem was with whomever made the wheels, not the wheels themselves.

Dear Chk - They're worth the money, so don't sweat it. However, they're rather wide rims - are you planning on a fairly wide (1.5") slick?

Truth be told - they are for IAB

I bought 1.2s but if we have issues, I'll buy 1.5. Thanks for the advice!

I mention this because I used to run 26 x 1" tires on my mtb and I had a heinous bunch of pinch-flats.

yep. we're pinching

EDIT -- Oops, misread the model of the rim.
