The wheels as shown weigh 4 pounds 3 ounces (1.87 kg). The spoke serial number on the front wheel reads 297430. The spoke serial number on the rear wheel reads 298119. The wheels are Made in Mexico. There are 100 images of the wheel set at Frame and Wheel’s Flickr page. Please take a look. Please see the Frame and Wheel website for more information about the company and the service. Includes spacers, lock ring and rear derailleur guard. Ships in custom wheel boxes.

Review of condition
The wheels are in good condition. They are clean and ready to ride. The hubs spin smoothly and freely. There are no dents in the rim. There are no cracks around the rivets that join the carbon spoke blades to the carbon wall. There are no cracks, flexing, flaking or discoloration in the eight carbon spokes on the front or the rear wheel. There are no cracks, flexing or discoloration in the carbon wall. The valve opening is undamaged and unobstructed. There is no play in the hubs. The threading on the rear axle is not stripped or corroded. The front and rear axles are straight. The rim seam is smooth. The alloy rim is firmly attached to the carbon wall. Frame and Wheel notes the following. There is lateral variation in the rear wheel of 1.5 mm (width of a penny) when placed in the truing stand. There is lateral variation in the front wheel of less than 1 mm when placed in a truing stand. There is a 0.5 mm x 8 mm indentation on the leading edge of one of the non drive side spoke blades. There is a 14 mm x 10 mm abrasion on the drive side carbon wall near the rim. There is a 14 mm x 10 mm abrasion on the left side of the front wheel carbon wall. There is a similarly sized abrasion on the right side of the front wheel carbon wall. The freewheel hub body shows wear. The braking surfaces of the rim show wear. There is surface corrosion on the inside surfaces of the rim. There is surface corrosion on the quick releases.

Frame and Wheel conclusion
Frame and Wheel’s view is that this Spinergy X-tralight Rev-X wheel set will make an essential addition to a classic Cannondale bike collection.The wheel set will also add generous amounts of retro aero cool to an urban fixie bike. Frame and Wheel is not convinced that these wheels are a good choice for racing or serious riding given the huge advancements in carbon wheel technology and the fact that Spinergy no longer manufactures them (Indeed, users are cautioned by Spinergy to inspect these wheels closely and frequently for cracks). Nevertheless, these wheels are in good condition and ready to add a new accent to the voice of a bicycle that is used for gentle commuting or display purposes. An increasingly rare opportunity to obtain a deep dish original.
