The flex is not an issue when they're used as intended and I only really notice any under real load. If you read the many reviews out there most comment on how stiff they are with mush less comments about flexing although I've no idea what people are comparing them with. I did a real basic test yesterday which was comparing by feel alone how easy they flex around the rear brake area and they were noticably easier to move than my Campag Sciroccos and the (run of the mill) Mavics on my Steamroller.
Having said all that, I love riding them and don't think you'll go wrong for a reasonably priced intro into aero wheelsets.
Oh, and did I mention the noise they make :-)
