I just would like to try an aero set and it's about time for some new swag anyways.
Anyone else riding these or similar for training and or fun? Opinions?
I looked for reviews on these for the longest time and never managed to get any feedback from a living person that actually had used them for more than a single ride. I contacted Neuvation and after a long and detailed response including the manufacturer of the rims, hubs, spokes, build, etc. I concluded these were not going to last long. I decided against them.

They have been problem free; I haven't even had to touch up the trueing yet.
I did get a pair of these as well during the group buy. I have used them in pretty bad conditions too and after a few hundred miles they are holding just like on day one. One of the best purchases I have made to date actually. The only complain I have about them is I don't like their graphics, but I am unable to take them off as they are under a clear coat.
Bikeisland.com sells these in case you cannot find them under the BD website.
