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.
I asked about Carbon Clinchers, Rob advised me to stay away from them.
I'm taking that advice.
I value someone who tells it like it is instead of telling my what i want to hear to make a sale.
Ultra light components on very fast bikes with heavy riders can have SERIOUS consequences.
