I do not have them although I am also curious.

Your link does not appear to work.
Maybe this one will.

I haven't got the 50/50's in the link however I do have the 50/50 handbuilt tubulars from Planet X which I think are great, pretty robust, pretty fast and spin forever.   I have only used them a couple of times however so couldnt comment on how long the hubs will last.

I do also have the 101/80's which is the same style as the 50/50's you have listed but tubular NOT clincher, the braking surface is not as good as the wheels I mentioned about however the wheels are pretty fast and strong especially for wheels as cheap as these.

was also interested in wondering what people thought about these. Im looking for new race wheels and didnt know if the 82/101 were worth it or not. I have heard that the braking surface sucks, but then again how often do you brake in races.

we had a couple of threads a page or so back about wheels... Planet X's were brought up then too. Check it out.

I have the 82/101's and love them. I guess I do not have a lot of experience with other aero wheels but I definately notice a huge improvement with these tubulars. I have never had a problem with the braking surface. They slow me down as much as I need when I need to but as mention how often do you brake really hard in a race. So all in all I really like them and would buy them again. Well worth the money...

Try this.

Yes, there was some GREAT information in that thread. Enough for me to make a better choice. I spent a little more and got a set of used/demo Zipp 808's.
