As you can see, I have taken receipt of two 50mm carbon rims. I'm quite pleased with these. They look good. No horrible gigantic stickers to elbow grease off.
I've gone with 50mm front and rear for the sake of lightness.
I could have ordered them earlier, like some other parts, but for no particular reason I decided to wait. During that time the price went down £30. So I've saved myself £60 by doing nothing.
I've got them now because I'm expecting the hubs sometime soon and so I can get de-burring and cleaning done.
I've ordered the tyres too which should arrive before the hubs so they can spend some time stretching.
