OK, cool - I've had them since I got them for TCR in 2016 too. Didn't think many other people were using them.
I always say that they have lasted really well, but I have had the rims on both wheels replaced twice! (Once on both wheels was from brake wear, then the front was me with a metal tyre lever and the rear was a crack by a spoke hole, after it had done a few thousand miles).
Assymetric for front - is that for disc brakes?

Yeah when I was building the 4S, everyone was like "oh you need assy hubs for discs" but SP dynamo isn't assy, hence buying the Aileron. For 50 quid a piece they're pretty bloody good. Obviously it helps that mine are the disc version so there's no braking wear and it also helps if arsehat drivers don't crash into you, but the one I have now is still going strong.
hippy
What do you mean "switched"? I've been running one since 2016 the first TCR I did.
I actually bought two of them but it turns out the SP dynamo hubs weren't offset so I bought a (non-offset) Velocity Aileron for the front instead. That was destroyed by a scooter in London so I got the DT Swiss 511db and at some point (maybe the next year) I was running that stupid deep Light Bicycle rim on the front. When that Kinesis 4SD frame cracked and I got the Tripster, I went back to the DT Swiss front wheel (w/ thru axle hub) and then I was hit by the car which destroyed the Kinlin rear, but since I still had the Kinlin rim from 2016 I'd never used, that got built into another rear wheel on DT Swiss hub which I'm still riding today. It was tubeless for Badlands but it's back to road use now and tubes. #csb
