has anyone heard anything about these? (http://greatadventuresports.com/site/itemdetails.cfm?ID=1226&Catalog=39&sort=price)

i'm not in the market for new wheels just now, but these look pretty slick. i do a lot city riding, so i need a wheel to be tough and smooth, but not as flashy or pricey as the ksyriums...

I don't have experience directly with paired spokes, but I have heard tell of horrors in trying to true these beasts when they get whacked/break a spoke because of the relatively high tension relating to the spoke configuration.

In terms of toughness, I would look towards 36 hole 4 cross, but that's just me....
