Just a great wheel...

I bought a set of C24s (still have my Bontrager RXLs) and they roll like crazy, stay absolutely true (2000 miles so far) and have a whisper quiet ratchet system.

I had Reynolds mv32c ul 32mm carbon clinchers before these, and they were nothing to write home about. They went severely out of true after only a few rides and the Reynolds blue pads were wearing down rather quickly. I had them trued by the LBS and they were fine after that, but I still didn't see the point in owning them once I bought the DA 7900s. They were only 60 grams lighter and at 32mm, there was really no significant aero advantage. Had I gone with the deeper 46mm version, I'd have probably kept them. Needless to say I sold them off and don't really miss them.

I want a deeper, more aero carbon wheelset, but to be completely honest I don't see the point other than the bling factor. My DA wheels are incredible overall and get the job done.
