I used one of mine at the Peaks ride. It was true when I started and after cleaning I realised I'd given it a little wobble.
Baring in mind Ive NEVER tried to true wheels (REALLY, IM THAT LAZY) I actually trued it up pretty well. I then moved over to another one that had an odd dish to it and sorted that one too. Good eh?
(Before I go out again on it can someone give me a heads up as to why I found it easy to true? Is there something Ive missed?)

I brought one off a mate years ago back in the day when they were a new product. It lasted me 3 weeks before the kevlar strand broke. It was replaced with a Pro afterwards.. that lasted a few cross country races and died in the same manner. BUT after you have tried one I guess they are a bit like having a hit on a crack pipe.. You know it is bad for you, the effect don't last too long before you have to shell lot of cash out for another one, but going back to rehab and riding a normal spoked wheel does not hit the mark.
I forgot to add -
When/if you build one, make damn sure the bolts securing the disc halves to hub are locktighted to HELL. Every single one of my non-drive side ones fell out after riding it around town. Now I have to completely disassemble it to put new ones back in.
