Came stock on my giant TCR. Stiff, relatively lightweight, hold tension and true fairly well. Fairly lightweight and the composite warranty from giant is great. Gives me security in my investment, since replacing one of these in the next four years would only be a couple hundred bucks at the absolute worst, and free in the first two. Tubeless out of the box was great. Hubs/bearings are very good quality, and as a bonus sound great too. For a bike that I'd be keeping for 5 or so years, I'd happily get these as an aftermarket set. Any longer, and a company with an unlimited lifetime warranty would be more attractive to me. Downsides - the rims seem to be set up to be the most aero with 25mm tires, and I'm running 28mm. Not a big deal, tire profile is still fine. Front was slightly off dish and a bit out of true, rear was a bit out of true out of the box. Shop fixed those up fine after the break-in period. I dislike the internal spokes as well, since you need to retape it every time you adjust spoke tension, but after the first truing they've held up very nicely, so it's not my issue.
