I had been eyeballing these wheels for a few months after reading some reviews and decided to pull the trigger based on the name, quality, and price compared to other all round wheels. I am extremely happy with my purchase.
They are crazy fast. I replaced a set of dura ace c24s (that I loved) and noticed an immediate difference at speeds above 20mph. My perceived effort to hold 22mph was significantly less, and this was corroborated by my heart rate being about 10-15 bpm lower at that same speed. For the effort it used to take to hold 22 on the flat I can now ride at 24-26mph.
My only hesitation prior to riding these was the very slight weight penalty, as they are not ultra light, and they were slightly heavier than the wheels I replaced. Turns out they climb and accelerate just as fast, which seems to be due to their high stiffness. I run the brake pads really close to the rims and there is zero rub even with maximal out of the seat efforts.
I'm extremely pleased with Biketiresdirect as well. They arrived in perfect shape in 2 days. Got them for a great price, making me a loyal customer in the future.

These wheels are simply superb. Not ultra-lightweight, but they more than make up for it in stiffness, aerodynamics, and ride quality - and they look REALLY great on the bike. BTD sometimes sells these for as low as $XXXX- if you see them at that price point, do yourself a favor and upgrade. Highly recommended.
