The trick is to let it soak. Come and think of it, maybe that's a bad idea do for carbon rims. I have a set of 202s but clincher. I never really rode them but on a couple occasions. I found the Enve 40mm profile rim to be almost as light and made little difference. Hell, I am fat and can't climb for siht now, never did climb well

Ha! I think the 202's I have are about 1300? 1200? grams. I almost think getting a new bike with disc and getting clincher disc rims in the sub 1200g range to make them go.
Out here in the mountains, rim brakes on carbon rims are a tricky real estate proposition!
Same (and even moreso for tubular rim brakes). Me needs to go win lottery.
Edit... I was watching some videos on tubular tape, but still, it seems to be a challenging proposition against newer disc/carbon clincher variants.
Random 32 incher / made video. If you can stand the uptalking, there are some good looking bikes!
