I had a set I used for cross a couple years, they were fairly comfortable for that. One of the rims cracked while riding pavement and warranty was a real turn off, company was sketchy to deal with. Then the reports of their failures starting coming in and I sold the good one off. Although I've thought they would be cool to cruise around on I wouldn't want to do any real riding on them any more. Basically the issue was that they would fail with little to no warning and the failure was catastrophic due to the lack of spokes, once one failed the wheel just disintegrated at speed.
