Wasn't there an air pressure limit on the carbon clincher rims from Campagnolo?
I remember something like "not more than 8 bar".
Wouldn't surprise me if the FSAs are limited, too.

Yeah, I've seen them, they make me sick. They aren't very light, 1350g, and they cost a butt load, around 2000. I could buy 2 of the new FSA sets for the price of theat and be 150g lighter.

I WAS WRONG!! These wheels are not as lite as they claim to be. FSA claims they weigh in at about 1200g, but from a source at interbike they are closer to 1500g!!!
Oh well, carbon clinchers is a bad idea anyways, they can't take the pressure, most only to 8 bar.

i just wanted to build a bike (this is my first road bike), then it turned out to be a project - i was searching for the lightest parts. but i dont think i wanna train in nyc with carbon wheels, if i can sell both rims i will and just build myself something else, maybe american classic - i just dont like how many people have had problems with their rear hub.
