OK there is no "good" place to ask this question and maybe it's a dumb one one, but all other things being equal, how much of a difference is there in feel/performance between an equal size (and depth)carbon clincher wheel and a aluminum clincher wheel. I suspect that answer may be "not much" but does anyone have real world experience?? Or does the carbon wheel ride softer compared to the aluminum??

Not a road bike, but still a pretty cool video: redbull.co.uk/cs/Satellite/en_UK/Event/021242908456696

i was out for a bit in the afternoon to visit people but i try to work at home as much as possible anyway. it's a quiet time of year anyway, right? i hate driving because i don't have winter tyres and if anything goes wrong with people further ahead you could get stuck and a lot of the horror stories of abandoned cars were caused by one accident and then miles of tail-back because the road clearance people cant get to the problem.
