if you didnt win them then good. they were ok but had a problem with separating from the alloy rim. they are also heavy and were way behind the performance of the tubulars. almost all that I knew about in the wild separated at some point. the winning price was well over their value.
if you did win them then congrats. ride the hell out of em. :thumbup:

I've had a set of 2008 404's with alloy brake tracks, seen pretty heavy use under big rider with zero issues. The rear hub needs fairly frequent cleaning and lubepplied to the Paul's but it is easy to,do.
These look like a slightly newer hub, but they are still over priced.
Weight wise they are not bad - about 1660g which puts them on a par with many current carbon clinchers and many carbon clinchers with alloy brake tracks are heavier.

The silver spokes and hubs look exactly like my roughly 2011 Zipps. except I still have the stickers on mine. They haven't seperated yet, I did lose one spoke/nipple to corrosion but I'm using them in a salty humid environment in the Caribbean. Other than the one issue they've been good and spin very nice. :thumbup:
