I have two sets and generally echo all the accolades here - they seem tough, they damp vibration, they are light, tires change fairly easily on them, etc. I will say that I have heard scraping sounds from the hubs from time to time. Almost like the bearings get out of the groove then get bounced back in. The LBS regreased one set and said it was almost dry in there - that seemed to do the job. They are not as smooth rolling as Hugi 240s (the best I have seen) but you won't be comparing them side by side so not to worry - they roll as smoothly as typical good wheels. Just expect to regrease or perhaps change grease at some point and I recommend them, particularly when mated with overly stiff bikes to counterweigh that aspect of the ride. When mated with damped carbon frames I found them too smoothing and went for stiffer wheels.
Giant racer boys who must have super stiff everything don't like Topos, but for most of us, they are exactly the way the Pex review portrayed them (and one wonders why we don't see more kevlar/carbon spokes).
