Smallfurry pointed out that some alloy rims have trouble retaining high pressure clinchers, asking unreinforced carbon to do so is quite possibly asking for trouble.
The rims that he is using are reinforced with Kevlar around the sidewall area to cope with clinchers.
I weighed it up and decided that as these are my "race wheels"* that I would take the plunge and get the tubs, my training wheels are clinchers.
