Sitched from a Gary Fischer Wahoo to one of these. I saw this blue one about two months ago on WM's site and I saw one in my local and bought it. Spokes are massive! I don't know what size they are but definately bigger than previous models. Been runnin around on mine for a couple a weeks now and i gotta say this thing feels TONS more stable than that G.F. I'm hard on my rides and the streets here in Denver aren't nice either and they hold up well. The Wahoo had Alex wheels laced to Deore hubs and these wheels honestly feel stronger. We'll see how they hold up in the long run but so far it's great. Heres some pics
