#!markdown Andrew, good call on the carbon rims! I'll keep them on my alu rims. My only experience with carbon and high pressure has been tubular track wheels. And of course, no issue with high pressure on sew ups 🙂 clincher carbon may indeed not be able to handle the increased pressure. Another note on weight, it hides well. Maybe not on the road but on tech climbs one can relax a bit from the added traction. I'm a convert, but I still enjoy a light quick wheel set on smooth summer single track 🙂
