Thanks. Nothing wrong with those times my friend. (1:12 won N. CA/NV this year in my age men's group - 45-50 and anyway you don't need to be world champion to have a valid opinion.) A carbon wheel is going to dampen vibration over an alloy rim so I suppose "mushy" needs to be elaborated upon. I would be surprised if big chunks of carbon (HED 3's) were very flexible. Maybe they'll be some more responses to this.
