I got out for about 2 hours on Saturday morning. First let me say...is there anything better than a ride in the sunshine at roughly 67 degrees? Thought so.
Yes, there was wind. 15 mph is not my favorite riding conditions, but who can complain. I was out riding, right???
The wheels look amazing (as you can see). Spin up is surprisingly fast and rolling is even better. They are so smooth. I am loving these wheels already. Now, I would be lying if I said I could not feel a difference between my FP80's and my 24mm training wheels in a 15 mph cross wind. I could feel it, but it wasn't something that I felt was unsafe. I will take the aero advantage any day over the ever so slight crosswind pull. The real difference was when I turned into the wind. SLICE, baby...! Like butter. :) And the tailwind sections were even bettter.
My first impression of this wheelset is that I am VERY pleased to have them.
More impressions and ride reports to come...
