You can probably borrow one for a test drive from somebody, plenty people have them. I've never heard complaints about their mechanical performance, but they are a bit Marmite in cross winds, depending on your bike set up. Some of use have no trouble even in a gale, some people find them a handful in a light breeze. Although there's some correlation with rider weight (fatties keep their front wheels nailed down harder than whippets do), that's not the whole story.
