Ok, so i'll recycle this old thread like a good forum user. Updated pics and updated build list.
I'm gathering parts for a sweet new wheelset (comfortably sub 1200g by my calcs). They're going to be built up by forum user ugo.santalucia, probably in the next couple of weeks. The build will be:

Always like to see people colour matching tyres and gates.
One of these passed me last summer and looked very nice.
Hope you enjoy!0 -
Very nice. A brochure of theirs fell out of a bike mag recently. Would normally chuck that sort of thing away - but no chance! Don't see many in the UK but a really nice looking frame. Like the brakes - technical marvels!0

Looks like nice wheels. Might want to get some valve extenders though!Open One+ BMC TE29 Seven 622SL On One Scandal Cervelo RS0

Love the look of that wheel build. Lovely Canyon you have there I must post some updated pics of my two.0

Is it safe to mount the tyres uninflated on a rim that isn't laced? Mine were pretty tight getting on, wouldn't want to crack that lovely carbon rim...0
-
S'pose there's safe and 'safe'. It's probably not completely ideal but they're fine so far. I think if they cracked it would be a sure sign that they're not safe to ride. These things should be structurally sound enough to take a bit of rubber stretched over them.
The forces are going in the directions you'd expect a rim to withstand.0 -
Well, after a damn long wait due mainly to the incompetency of the UKBA i got the hubs and spokes and finally laced them up ready to be sent for truing and tensioning by ugo.santalucia. Mad light.
