Here's my 2 cents. I was building my "dream" bike and my "guru" suggested carbon wheels. I have some pretty decent aluminum wheels on my other bikes. Wheelsets by November, Psimet & Boyd, using CK & White Industry hubs, and mainly CX Ray spokes. I did a lot of research on carbon wheels, I did NOT want a wide profile rim and the new bike has disc brakes...perfect for a carbon wheel. My second choice ended up being the TCG36 wheel from November. My new wheels were built by Spark Wheel Works; rims are Alto CCX28, CK disc hub and CX Ray spokes. Kinda pricey, but since this is my DREAM bike I was not going to skimp.
The bike is awesome and I think it is mostly due to the wheels. They are badass fast, smooth, just perfect.
