No alpine descents but I've found heavy braking to be fine. It's different to braking on alloy rims as the pads are super soft but you get used to it. Here is mine btw:
Got these in the sale while un-decieded on what wheelset or build to go for. Saving 54g compared with my current front qr. Rear has qr for turbo on it at the mo, but 100g savings on my current wheelset aint bad for £20!
I actually meant attacks, how do you find them? Been down any alp-like descents?
this will become a fair weather bike
