Just seen this thread. Carbon clinchers for riding in the lake district is an amazingly bad idea. At least the SwissStops aren't Yellows.
Slow descending of steep stuff hard on the brakes is exactly what leads to carbon rims heating up (and carbon clinchers rim-beads separating from the rims).
I'm amazed nobody on here mentioned this.
