The author asserts that the current generation carbon clinchers are manufactured with higher temperature resins that improve the safety of the wheels. And the newer brake pads are designed to help dissipate the heat.

What's the consensus on carbon clinchers, seriously?

This is a pretty neat read, although even with the improvements in the newer generation wheels it seems there are still reports of failure fairly consistently with people who ride in fairly technical climb/decent areas. I can never seem to get a straight answer out of people riding different makes around here...
