I searched the forums and found that a lot of members bought some this past summer so I'd like to know how they are performing for you, whats your likes and dis-likes about them, problems etc....
I try to find as much info as I can ,from real users,about a product before I buy.

I am one of those who owns them, and they've been great, but there already has been every aspect of these wheels discussed at great length. Check here: https://www.bikeforums.net/search.php?searchid=3107283

I bought a set earlier this year from repartocorse.com. A couple of things:
- The freehub is pretty loud.
- The hidden nipples make truing the wheel quite a pain as you have to take the tire and rim strip off to get to them.
- Lastly, the actual weight came in over the advertised weight. My set came in closer to 1590g.
Other than that they have performed well on the streets of nyc.
