Plus I've essentially bought carbon wheels of unknown provenance, with no idea of the QC process, with little recourse if they do fall apart. I've done that pretty much based on ebay feedback and a few people on here who've had wheels from the same ebay seller.
I'm not complaining and I made my choice of wheels knowing the above, but I'm going to be slightly cautious on my first few rides until I'm pretty sure they're ok.
Oh, and it's worth checking out this guy's instagram for carbon scares: https://www.instagram.com/luescher_teknik/?hl=en

I don't get this fear of carbon being fragile. It's tougher than aluminium and people have happily used that in wheels without getting the heebeejeebees for aeons.
