bad reviews in terms of what? ive hand weighed them, and they def. are a tad bit heavier than deep v's and other 'beatable' rims - im definitely concerned with sturdy - and yeah, they're pretty

what downsides should i be aware of?

Besides the rims weighing ~580 grams, I don't think there are any. If you're into the whole brakeless thing they offer rims that are tapered for more aero effect.

Here's a link to a post on weight weenies. There's some picks and a review of biuld/rim quality.

ricekilla, i think your front wheel's on backwards d00d.

You're right, my brother was the one who installed it, I was at work when it came in. Anyway switching it out now, thanks for the heads up.

Ive read one bad review on the h plus, the poster was saying they felt really flimsy.

Nice! There is nothing as inspiring as taking a high-end racing frame, putting on a $750 racing wheel in the front, and then setting the rear up with a 60 tpi tire. Beautiful.

a wider bottom bracket will help with that.
also, did you sand or file the end of the cranks arm? campy crank arms don't look rounded like that originally.

I forgot to say "Your bike is really nice". What city are you in? What size is that bike?

My chain line is perfect right now so I don't feel like messing with a new spindle. And it does clear, just barely. :lol:

Cranks are Stronglights with a campy ring.

How wide is your BB? I had some issues with my chain sitting way close to the stays. Went to a Sugino 75 (109) and it helped somewhat, but damn the clearances can be tight on the Cannondale.

Elkhide came today & O...M...G...! It is so luxurious & soft! I was on the gate on leather wrap, but if your bike is done & you want those last finishing touches, velo-orange is THE place to visit. Better pics to come with daylight:

I know i know :D

Had a brake on with bullhorns but the lever was too long to work with riser bars, so I took it off. I am waiting for my clips and new brake lever to arrive. Until then i use my brute strength to stop. :D
