Descending feels better on these demo wheels. Even though they are not as "aero" (Not sure you can classify 30mm boyds as aero) as the boyds, they are a wider rim (23mm combined with a lower PSI 23mm tire). I dont know if it is the width or the weight that feels like it handles better. The bike (Specifically in the bars) feels more secure while descending and even more so when cornering while descending.

I just got back from another ride. shorter because I was limited on time today, but more climbing. I do believe that the wheelset is heavier than my boyds (Still dont know by how much) because I can feel it just from picking my bike up. The climbing I did today was a lot of consistent elevations and I found myself not really noticing the weight unless I was thinking about the weight. Lets face it, when you climb, it doesn't matter how light your wheels are, your legs are going to get tired and burn and get tired. I feel that I notice the weight more so when my legs are REALLY burning on a steep climb. Again, its not like my legs dont feel severe fatigue with my boyds after some serious climbing.

Today, the free hub sound REALLY annoyed me. I'd rather have a loud "clicking" sound over a "buzzing bee" sound. Though, the pink hubs are starting to grow on me

I took the time of getting some proper picts of my bike with these wheels.
