I did a search on the FSA Carbon Pro's, and the version with an aluminum star gets horrible reviews; whereas, people seem to have a good opinion of the all-carbon version.

The original poster might not back pedal much, now, but I think most riders start doing it more and more the longer they ride.

NOT back pedaling in order to compensate for the inadequacy of the crank seems like a double curse, to me.

I'd just ride these cranks until I felt them deteriorating, and then I'd get some real cranks.

Regarding the wheels, I don't get the aero thing.

I like the RR 1.1 rims better, for their lightness.

I find that lighter rims accelerate and decelerate better than heavy rims.

As for tires, I find that a Conti 4 Seasons in front and a Conti Gatorskin in back gives me the best performance and flat-resistance for the weight and the money.

Schwalbe Ultremo tires handle better than the Contis, weigh less, have lower rolling-resistance and have the same flat resistance, but they cut a little more easily.

Still, I get 2-3000 miles out of Ultremos, and they look really nice on a black, white or grey bike.
