My Ottrott is maxed out on carbon components. I've thought about carbon wheels, but do not like "fat" wheels. All the carbon wheels I've seen are clunky and fat looking. Are there skinny carbon wheels?

Your LBS, Bicycle Link, had some Zipp 202s in last time I was there - they're a low profile carbon wheel. Not an everyday wheel, but super light.

My Reynolds Stratus DV's are real skinny.

A raw carbon clincher with a 45mm profile that shimmers in the sun light. I am running Pro-race rubber on them and the only bulge is the tire.

I'll sell 'em to you if you like??

Bontrager and Nimble also make low profile carbon wheels.

If you are not looking for low profile wheel, I think the medium profile depth of 303's look nice on any bike.

+1 Campy Hyperions. If you get the clinchers they can be everyday wheels.

Will Reynolds become the "house" wheels for Serotta now that Serotta has a share in the business??
