Anyone have experience with these wheels? Bought a pair on ebay and have not been impressed. Replaced the bearings in the casette body and there was a slight improvement in the smoothness. Originally the rear wheel was extremely rough. The wheels are quite light, noticed that immediately on the bike. They accelerate well. They roll pretty well. At speeds above 35 (as in going down hill) with any kind of wind I noticed alot of instability as compared to my standard open-pro wheels. Took 'em to the LBS to check the hubs to make sure they were'nt loose. Nope, not loose, just a flexible wheel I was told.

Am curious if anyone else has the same experience with these. Now I wish I'd used the 225 from ebay and the 30 for new bearings and used them for the pair of Orion II's in the bike shop. Oh yeah, I'm not a clydesdale either, currently weighing 155.
