Is there anyone reading this, who owns CF rims, that considers them noisy? Or, anyone who is reading this, who owns CF rims, that has had a reliability issue that was caused by something that would not have also impacted alloy rims? My 60 CF rims are not noisy to me, and I have yet to have any problems with any CF rims of any kind.

The Zipps are very robust and i've hit some serious potholes that would of twisted some alloy wheel, the Zipps are dead straight.
If they are good enough for the cobbles of the Paris-Roubaix, they're good enough for me.

The only unusual noise I have with my Zipp 202 wheels, is when you apply the brakes, it sounds different (louder) than on aluminum rims. It's more of a "sound" than a "noise" though 
No question they stop worse than aluminum rims in the rain though. It takes a LONG time to get any slowdown at all if the rims are wet.
