I've heard that and it is a concern.

Spoke to my son and he said i'd be better off with a lighter and better set of aluminum wheels. He warned me about carbon wheel brakes and only uses his when he races. So 99% of the time, he's on aluminum.

He has Bontrager RXL wheels on his Madone 6.7. And since he's going overseas for 10 months the wheels will be just sitting there. He suggests i try them see if I can feel a difference.
