Available in January 2004, FSA's RD-800 carbon clinchers have 18 spokes front and rear and reportedly weigh 1.2kg per pair. RRP will be US$1100 per pair. Not a bad price, and the lightest clinchers money can buy, at the moment anyways.

Heres the link, go ahead, snoop around!

Check the new hyperon ultra clincher www.campagnolo.com
and the Fir rondas

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.

Why don't you use tubulars? Much stronger for the same weight and safer.

I never said I didn't, although I don't. Not yet anyways, saving up for some though. I was just saying that theses are the worlds lightest clinchers, thats all.

OK, but for racing - not for training tubulars are just better and you I wouldn't train on my 2000$ wheels

I never said I was buying them to train on, they would be race and event use only.

does anyone have a close up picture of the hubs?

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.

how much is 8 bar? 1500grams doesnt sound too good - i hope thats not true

About 120psi.

By they way, I think you broke the record for most posts in one day. What do you have 25?

Somebodys been drinking too much coffee

hehe, thats because im getting new parts for my bike, and i am doing alot of research. but everyone says not to ride the zipp 360 rim everyday in new york city. so i think i made a bad choice there.

Do you want to train on Carbon wheels in New York city???

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.
