There is not much of a cross section for cross wind issues and the spokes don't add enough for me to notice.

A few things I have noticed about these wheels over the time I have had them. Spring broke that holds pawls in the freehub broke as with a previous poster. Sean sent out a new one right away and came to me quickly.

Recently there is one non drive side spoke on my rear wheel which came completely loose. Somehow the rest of my wheel was still true enough to ride home. :/ I did not realize what the issue was for a few rides since it was a creaking sound, which we all know can come from almost anywhere except where you think it actually is. All is well now,but a bit unsettling that one spoke came completely loose mid ride. I admit the roads here are a bit rough but they did not feel THAT rough.

Overall I am very happy with these wheels and the weight (for which I do not have a picture! This will be rectified). Pair them with some latex tubes and some nice tires and you have yourself an amazing feeling ride.

Anyone has long term impression on the carbon tubular/ clincher sets? the C5.0 / 6.0 for example. They look solid and wow, the tubulars weight like feather!

The V3 Prodigy hubs are maybe a little louder than Shimanos but much, much quieter than Campags.

Not checked if the front is the same, but my 3.0SLS (also Prodigy V3 hub) have 6802RS bearings.
