I'm running the 37mm Superteams with carbon brake track along with Reynolds Blue pads and the dry weather brake response is as good as any alloy wheel I've ever ridden. I haven't ridden them in the rain and I ride mostly flat roads, so I don't have any long downhill reporting to offer. But I got these wheels for 250 bucks new, they weigh 1580 without skewers, and the bearings are really smooth. I work in a Trek shop and even at my cost, I'd have to spend nearly 4 times that much for a pair of Aeolus 3 pros. Really an outstanding value.
