depends what carbon wheels you are talking about , retro or modern ?
Just seen lots of pic's of Trimbles with them. I wondered about the wheels.
Spinergy's REV-X in the titanium bike; Bought them the minute they came out and liked the,.used them in the Serotta ATX Colorado and loved the ride.
Spengle's in the Klein; Bought them because they were part og the Serotta TiMax i bought when it was build up in the shop; HEavy,..would not buy again.
Spinergy Spox in the Klein Attitude; Like them but the bearings aren't any good

correct,..
I would go for titanium wheels if you have the choice, with some nice hubs.
They do not need any truing because according to the builders they will bend like the normal once,...
In some cases you can replace the rim,..you can cut/saw it from the base and "clue" a new one on.
I bought them for the looks and the story back then about the strenght, and offcourse that almost nobody drove them 10 years ago,...

depends on the wheels, old spins apparently were, but you had to send them back to spin direct. spinergy spox are just normal rims, with kevlar spokes & carbon body hubs. original 8spox (look like 4 side on!) wheels were fairly prone to carbon damage on the heading edge & were kinda on the heavy side
on road bikes full carbon rims are fairly common, tho they're not great under braking in the wet & take a few wheel revolutions before much braking actually happens! :shock:
i dont think theres any real pros to them to be honest. when they find ways of producing them cheaper, they'll become more common on disc brake lite weight xc racer fodder type steeds.
