I did that. Even road a couple other new one and they are pretty flexy. Take the wheel out and pull around on them a bit...sort of scary and nothing like my Klein but that's pretty old school carbon. Could be that I'm that much heavier than you as they never noticed it either. I also keep my brakes pretty close to the rim (about .5mm) so it doesn't take much I guess. Their suggestion was to loosen up the brakes.

When you take things apart and start pushing, pulling and twisting, it's really amazing how much flex there is in just about everything. Put it all together and stick a fat a$$ on it and something got to give:-)
