    Strengths:    Stiffness, dura-ace hubs are really smooth, appearance

    Weaknesses:    Weight slightly higher than I would prefer. Price.

    Bottom Line:   
    I love this wheelset. This is my first set of tubulars, and they are really sweet. They are very strong, stiff, light, responsive, and they look awesome.
    I could not be happier!

    Strengths:    responsiveness,strenght,looks great

    Weaknesses:    If you're looking for light light semi-aero tubular wheels then this is not your set

    Bottom Line:   
    I wanted a RACE ONLY set of semi-aero wheels. I wasn't aiming to get tubular wheels but with this set I got both.

    So far I can say that they are very responsive! They are stiff and I am not that worried of the 1525gm weight(some might say this weight to be on the heavy side for tubular wheels) as the light-weightness of a wheelset only really comes into picture on long climbs. Braking(with cork brake pads for carbon wheels of-course) is about 95% as good as aluminium rims in the dry and about 95% in the wet. They are solid, this is one wheelset you'll be racing on till you want to upgrade. They look great too which is always a bonus.

    Strengths:    Durability! That's why I chose them over the Zipp 404's.

    Weaknesses:    Pricey. :(

    Bottom Line:   
    Most people are turned away by the weight of the wheelset, but it's all at the hubs (so the ad's say). Well, they are right. So far they have turned out to be a very strong wheelset. I have hit alot of holes with them this past year and they still run true.
