Hi, a total n00b question here:
What are Your thoughts on this one: http://ebay.to/2dHGGnB ? Total garbage or worth buying?

I hope the wheel is not out of true!
Buy it and let us know how it goes :)

Compared to an ordinary high profile carbon rim, this is some 350 gram heavier, what would be the advantage of this wheel - stiffness ?

I'm just asking because I always wanted a carbon wheel and these are so cheap, wanted to know if anybody has any actual experience with them
