carbon fiber bike wheels
Carbon fiber wheels are lighter and stiffer. Your carbon fiber wheel spokes should be high tension, which allows you to accelerate quicker and maintain speed better. http://www.carbonspeedcycle.com

Having a damper on the door, so it cannot fly open would seem to be a simple & effective solution. I've never heard why it's not used.

Or you could play safe and upgrade to 105. No chance of it falling apart in the same way as overpriced Ultegra with it's crappy 'Airfix' glue.

I went to school with an Amy Cooper. It couldn't be, could it?
can't even spell 'fibre'
I bought chinese carbon tubular rims, built on to my own hubs by myself then used all last year on our rough lancashire lanes in a series of tens, no issues up to now.
Another company to add to my list of places never to buy anything from.
The claim that "carbon fiber wheels are lighter and stiffer" is also false if comparing squidgy, cheap carbon (which the wheels advertised for free above could be) with high-end aluminium.
Advert for random Chinese built wheels?
