yeah. the stats are for those climbs only? I'd kill for 7000m of constant climbing over 86k's - unless you're only doing the climbs, back-to-back, in which case I admire your stamina for trans-europe driving.
get stuck in, you'd be mad not to!
oh, probably best to go for deep sections with regular braking surface if you intend to ride them in the hills. I've seen a couple of full carbon rims in pieces this year (inc a Lightweight) from being cooked by the braking heat.
