The shifting is crisp even under the strain of a steep climb. I thought the Chorus cassettes were good, but these---while pricey---are well worth the upgrade.

The tires ride great. At 160 PSI, they feel very soft and supple with exceptional grip. The only down-side is durability. Other tires I get 2,500 miles per set. With these, I'm hard-pressed to get 2,000 miles.

If a great ride is worth a bit less durability, these are the tires for you.
