Strengths:    Very quiet, still true after 18 months + of use, light, stiff but comfortable, stable even with cross wind gusts, good hubs.

Weaknesses:    Braking is HORRIBLE.

Bottom Line:   
The absolute worse wheel I have ever had in that regard. The surface of the braking area actually wears out very quickly showing the carbon fibers under it and is deposited on to the brake pads creating a hard glaze surface. That will inevitably reduce friction bringing the effectiveness of any brake you have to a zero. I tried everything I could and different pads, but it will only work for 2 or 3 slowing down then I am back to virtually nothing. Better anticipate almost everything coming up and hope nobody never turns in front of you or misjudge a downhill turn because you will not stop in time.
I would strongly advice to think it through before buying this wheel.

Strengths:    strong, roll well, relatively light

Weaknesses:    Braking - is the only problem that I have found with these wheels. You can not stop on a dime, you have to make sure you have enough room.

Bottom Line:   
These roll along well, but show there performance once you are over 40 kph.
