These are a heavy (just over 2kg) aero wheelset I've had kicking around for ages as a spare. However since learning how to build and repair wheels, I no longer need to have an entire spare wheelset around in case of disaster.
It has deep aero rims, 24 aero spokes each wheel, Shimano 8/9/10 freehub body, includes skewers. 130mm rear axle (suited for road bikes, not MTBs). The rim surfaces have a wear indicator and there is a lot of meat left on them. Hubs and freewheel mechanism are all good.
Although the spokes are heavily bladed, the wheel can be repaired using standard wheel parts and tools. In fact one spoke on the rear wheel broke earlier in the wheel's life, and this has been replaced by a standard 2.0mm spoke. (Despite the low spoke count, the rim is so rigid that when the spoke broke I didn't notice it even go out of true)
