Once up to speed those suckers must roll like a freight train. I'd love to take a set to the track!!.

I love that they're name HED Stalingrad wheels. Perfect.

I guess you won't worry about scratching those wheels.

Rotational weight has been undervalued. More is better. Those wheels will allow you to keep your momentum through the soft spots in the pedal stroke.

You can get all the benefits of an aero wheel, while still being able to carve a good line, really carve it, on the descents even with a high cross wind.

They would also have low rolling resistance on a polished granite surface...

No worries about flats or spare tubes either.

although, i wonder if the rear wheel has enough spokes. i imagine you need quite a few to to get that thing going without everything popping loose and exploding. how bout this....disc wheel effect with a billion bladed spokes.....indeed
