WORLDS LIGHTEST CLINCHERS!!! AND THEY ARE CARBON!!!
Moderator: robbosmans
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.

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.

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
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.
