Fulcrums arrived! As soon as I got home, I dragged the box down to the garage and got them installed. I did have to re-set the brake cables, since these rims are decidedly fatter than the old ones. Discovered that my valve stems are too short, so I had a hell of a time pumping up the tires, but I managed. Then, and ONLY then, did I remember that I have a pair of valve extenders, from the very first wheelset that came with the Ritchey 25 years ago - the rims were CXP30s.

SO, the wheels are mounted with tires and cassette, derailleur and brakes adjusted, AND... It's night time. NO ride tonight.

Grrrrrr.
