They are super easy to adjust and maintain. I would like to try them out none the less...they look really clean and match the groupo...IMHO. In regards to the Heliums...I have had them since they came out and I have only trued them 3 maybe 4 times and that was for a mean bump or pot-hole. I have maybe 5 - 6000 miles on them. I have noticed them to be a little soft laterally, but not by much. My main issue has been the wear on the braking surface...It is glazed smooth now and I have to be very careful as the pads can polish them and make the braking non-existent in the rain. Anyhooo...Mark Post Extras
