I won't dig too deep into my wheel history, but recently:
Reynolds Forty-Six clincher (DT240 hubs)
Reynolds DV46 UL tubular (DT240 hubs)
Reynolds DV46 UL clincher (DT240 hubs)
Reynolds Assault clincher (KT hubs)
Mad Fiber V2.0 clincher (Ceramic bearings)
American Classic 420 (horrible AC hubs)
American Classic Magnesium (horrible AC hubs)
and the odd Zipp wheelset
(I think my Reynolds tubulars could use some spoke tensioning since I've had them a few years and that would help to get the proper stiffness out of them.)

Really what I'm appreciating with the AX rim is the cross-wind immunity and the wide profile stance. I don't have any scientific testing or enough rides on the P38 set yet, but I do know they are incredibly fun to ride and I tend to ride faster when I'm having fun.

Well after all the um-ing and ar-ing I have ordered the Corima Aero+ MCC's. Why did I choose them over the P38's? I suppose just personal choice. The Corimas are unique in appearance where as the P38's look very similar to my current Zipp FC's.............. I'm also hoping that the Corimas will be more durable. Thanks everyone for their imput :)
