Carbon Wheels

It can happen to fancy wheels.
I have also seen carbon wheel riders crippled by multiple flats- they run out of tubes and don't pack a long enough valve extender.

Makes me wonder why non-racers seem to like carbon wheels as daily drivers.
I get the aerodynamics and cool factor- I don't get riding things that fail in a way that leaves you out of luck.

Don't get me started on carbon braking surfaces-
