I like mine despite the weight penalty (these suckers are HEAVY!!!). It def does dampen out road vibrations but the rotational weight makes it longer to stop on vs traditional wheel. they are FLEXY compared to my regular wheelset but im not too anal about that either as I ride my bike everywhere. I did a 130 mile tour on them and had no complaints. if you care about weight then don't get them. I have yet to really see the bombproofness of them but so far they seem really solid. I hit a few rims rockers and they are still are true.
