Just got some myself and very happy with them.
Whoops, sorry not 15mm.
How about these?http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=63318
I'm about to put a set of Black Flag Pro with 15mm and QR adapters up for sale. They are black rims and black hubs with blue nipples (they are not the standard colours as they were OEM on a bike). They have Stans yellow tape ready applied.
They've done about 200 miles and are mint apart from a gouge in the freehub from putting a ring on back to front but that does not affect them (as its in the opposite direction to that normally applied but a cassette) or cause problems getting cassettes on and off.
£170 plus postage
I got some of those 355s on XT hubs from merlin. They are reasonable and have took a pounding on my Trance X.
