I crashed them another time on a 30mph wet downhill when a rider in front went down and slid out in front of me, taking me out at the wheels from the side; Argents unscathed, though bike took some chipping and other damage.

The wear indicators on front make me think I've only got another season or two in them, so long-term durability may not be their thing (a tradeoff for lightness right there), but I'm considering getting another set because they have been so good.
