They're very fast in a 44 and take next to no effort to spin up to speed and then hold it - cruising around at 30kph+ doesn't require too much effort. They seem pretty well built for a relatively light wheel (i have the carbon spoked version) and there is no noticable movement/flex when you're giving it a bit of welly. I've run them with 25's and 28's and both work very well with them. There could be a bit of a quicker engagement on the freehub but i am comparing to an old pair of Rovals with a DT Swiss ratchet freehub which was instant to engage.
Had to change the freehub body which required two cone spanners - bit of a blast from the past as I've not used those kind of spanners for years!
I can't really comment on how they'll be in the long term as I've only had them for a few months but first impressions are good.
Cool thanx. I have other hunt wheels and too know the cone spanner dance of doom... odd size too -17mm from memory. Already having alternative end cap kits is part of the attraction.
