This PSIMET has some strange thoughts. I tried to get him to price me some road carbon clinchers 50 deep by 23 wide, because I read a lot about him and he appeared to be a stand up guy. I weigh in at 195 and live in the Missouri ozarks (smalls Hills not mountains). He basically would not price clinchers to me as he said that they would not work for me. Too Heavy and too many hills He said.

Went elsewhere and have been thoroughly pleased with my my 40 Deep X 25 Wide avenger no name carbon clinchers. Rock solid, great braking and have not needed any truing. Just turning 4000 miles on this set after I ran a chinese set of clinchers 23 wide by 50 deep for another 4000 miles last year. (sold them with my last bike).

He may build good wheels but he doesn't understand what works with road riders and carbon wheels or his wheels don't work as well as others. He needs to understand that carbon clinchers are not what they were 4 or 6 years ago.
