Thanks Tim.
it's what I assumed, but wanted to be sure. I also was curious about the comparison to aluminium. It's the main argument I use to avoid lusting after carbon ("they're just trying to mimic the feel of aluminium, so why would I pay more for just a few grams - and even there, some strong AL rims are just as light?!")
I'm looking forward to reading more of your thoughts about the traction benefits... (I'm a heavier rider too). I wonder if there's too much of a good thing?
