R-SYS are gorgeous wheels, I have been told they are quite stiff, is that the case?

She loves them, but I've never tried them on my bike so can't comment on the stiffness. I'm 200lbs, so the carbon spokes scare me a little bit.  :-\
If she loves them that's what's important...

How do you think the carbon spokes feel  ;)

I also wish I could ride on 'super light' products but even at only 195 pounds, they don't like me either. Funny how we are 40-50 pounds overweight to a lot of pro riders.
