Does anyone have any experience or heard anything about the RealDesign Ultrasonic 40mm carbon clincher wheelset? Looks to be an attractive combination of aero, light weight, and relatively robust with an aluminum braking surface.

Thanks,

not very light (about the same as Ksyrium), and not aero enough to make any difference. I would stick with the companies that have already proven themselves (Mavic, Campy, etc.).

We seem to have different ideas about 40mm profile rims, although I agree about unproven companies.

I was really just hoping to hear firsthand or secondhand experiences with the wheels. I guess there aren't many out there yet.
