Did you post this question also at Gordo's? If yes, I left a message there for you.

I'll summarize here: IMO -- these are the best do-everything wheel you can buy at any price. They will simply NOT break and are light and smooth-running. I do 100% of my everyday riding on them, and did all but one race on them last year. I weigh 170 and ride the Ascents. 5000 miles and still perfectly true after some rough riding.

Thanks Julian for your opinion. I'll seriously consider this then.
