No problems, nice ride. IMO, they are a good general purpose wheel for typical road riding. Combined with a Calfee frame we have no need for a stoker suspension post, which results in reduced weight (close to 1lb) and complexity. They do sag a touch on tight corners and will yield a "whoop" sound when stomping hard or in a compression corner, but these are non-consequential for our general purpose usage. The cost/weight ratio is very good considering these are tandem rated wheels.
If we were racing, I'd likely pick a laterally stiffer more aero wheelset (likely at a substantially higher price), but that is outside our tandem usage so for us does not factor.
