no weight listed that i could find... always something i like to know about a wheelset. for instance, if over 1600 gms i lose interest no matter the use, no matter the cost, how "deep" they are or whose logo's on the rims or hubs.

they are listed at 1610g, alloy or carbon brake track?
Sure looks like alloy in the pics
edit: the description is whack, this is an all alloy clincher according to my google search, wiggle has them as over 1700g

I have a set of Accelero Pro I have been using this season. I have recently had the rear wheel built with a PowerTap hub. They aren't the lightest but for me they have been a bullet-proof set of training wheels. They take a little longer to get up to speed, but once there, they hold it nicely. The 23mm profile allows me to run lower pressures too. They are more stable in the crosswinds than my Reynolds Assaults. They are a little heavy for climbing, but got me up the hills just fine. Shot below is climbing Bear Mountain. Overall a great wheelset for the money. I paid 300, but mine didn't come with CX-Rays.

Here's the proper product description for those wheels assuming they're the "pro" version based on the color/graphics;
Accelero 40 Pro is the first all-purpose wheel to offer a real aero benefit. Where most ‘aero’ wheels in this category have 30 mm deep rims, 3T goes all the way. Accelero’s aero-profile rim, 37 mm deep and 23 mm wide, is shaped by the same advanced aerodynamic R&D as our carbon-fiber Accelero and Mercurio wheels, for exceptionally low drag and stability in all conditions. 18 front and 24 rear spokes.
Features:
- Weight: 1725 g
- Width: 23 mm
- Material: 6000-series alloy
- Finish: Black rim, black spokes
- Rim: 6000-series AL-Alloy Black Anodized finish
- Rim Depth: 37 mm
- Tire Type: Clincher
- Spokes: Pillar PSR triple-butted: 18F, 24R. Brass nipples, Black
- Hub: 3T
- Freehub: Shimano/SRAM
- Quick Release: 3T, steel skewer
- (OEM)

I had a set, nashbar was blowing some out for $300 about a year ago. They actually weighed 1760 grams. They flexed way too much. I had to leave my back brake open all the time. I ended up putting them on a bike I sold a couple of months later.
