First carbon wheels, did not go well

If you have a new wheel itch, why not see what Mr Chisholm or Mr Ergott have to offer (especially if the shop will take them back within 30 days)? Or give Joe a call. There is no substitute for getting advice from people who have been there and done that.

Yeah, I am leaning towards that option. Truth be told, the Joe Young wheels I have are awesome. I'm just tempted to find something that allows a bit more comfort, as the new, wider rims claim. Not sure if this really allows the tire to sit better and allow a slightly lower air pressure or if that is just more marketing. I'm currently in contact with a local wheel builder, http://www.cutlasswheels.com/#home, and he has a pair of Boyd Altamont Lites with WI hubs he said I could borrow. That may answer my question once and for all.
