Yes, those (SL's) are the newer Carbones with aluminum rims, lighter than my wheels but the profiles are not as deep. My comment about the lighter tubulers was in reference to the all carbon tubulars that were used at the TdF last year. Someone here posted a picture of those recently. I suspect they are quite a bit lighter.
