Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I have a set of Williams 38's that are great. Braking is not that bad and the noise is minimal, slightly more than my Boyd Altamonts. Since the weight is identical to the Altamonts I really do not see a great advantage from one wheel to the other except the obvious wet weather braking. I think the Carbon wheels are a little smoother and I like them more but it most likely is in my head. In all honesty, I bought the carbon wheels mainly for the looks.

Style points way way more important than being competitive
