Now that they've been available for a while, anyone had much time on a set? Are they worth the extra cost over Zipps, or the standard Carbone SL's?

Carboners (the name given them by this Forum's own Matt Barkley) are the best all around go-fast wheel. They have the greatest combination of attributes. One of these is the aluminum braking surface. I am yet to see an effective solution to stopping an all carbon rim...especially in varying weather conditions. Carbones hit all of the high points. It is hard to do much better without making major compromises.

I think orbea was asking about the all carbon pro version, not the sl's.
