they make the bike do some things very differently.
it's a pleasant struggle.
i think my cf wheels are about three years old. they've been slammed around pretty hard, but they're still doing fine. in this short video shot after a typical socal rain, the final clip shows the bike hitting a concrete bridge lip, at an angle and at speed. it survived fine. the bike behind it (carlton or shannon, can't remember) didn't get away as easily.

also, get the right guy to balance them. makes a big difference. they can be picky.

before you mount them, put two or three coats of good quality wax on them.
figure on re-waxing every few months. it's good preventative maintenance.

Thanks for the tips Brad;
I am sure the bike will feel quite different as I have installed an RT A-arm also.....it's too bad it will not be ridden until April.
Cheers
