Hey guys, just wondering if anyone owns these OEM wheels that usually come with the Propel?
I'm currently running a Reynolds carbon clincher, but on the Propel's V-brakes, the braking is extremely poor, even if proprietary brake pads. They don't have a positive feel and are undescendable. A family member owns a Propel, and the braking on these SLR1 seems pretty damn close to Aluminum rims. I feel like I could actually stop. They didn't seem to spin up as quick and aren't as stiff, but this wasn't too bad as they felt pretty comfortable.
The LBS is selling a pair for about $1400.

From what I've read, the hubs are okay and are DT Swiss Internals.
I'll be using these wheels as an all round wheel, for commuting, training, racing so I'm after a do it all.
An alternative might be Wiggle's Cosine for similar dollars, but I actually trust Giant product more.
