Mine make a noise described by Object as "horrid" when braking, and looking at the braking surface they are far from smooth- I'll get a picture later but the ripples of the carbon substrate seem to have come through the epoxy, if that makes sense.
Pad deposition on the rims has flattened that out, but it's not ideal.
In terms of stiffness I reckon that the rear could do with more spoke tension, but I'm a bit wary about that- could do with getting the tensiometer on it.
However, the wheels spin up with very little sense of any inertia, and the ride on the tubs is really nice- feels very fluid, if that makes sense.
