The State banner in the photo makes it all work. From what I've read, the Achilles Heal of carbon clinchers is the brake track. It can't handle the heat of excessive braking. I don't know how applicable that issue is for my type and style of riding but it's been enough for me not to buy a set. I know from borrowing Zipp wheels that braking in the rain is definitely compromised compared to Al braking tracks. Your wheels look good, are very light and it sounds like they ride well. Good luck with them and file a long term report on how they hold up. Inquiring minds want to know!
