I'm looking for some low profile carbon wheels and came across these Rol C25R Clinchers? Anyone has experience with these? They are quite a bit cheaper than the Campagnolo Hyperion Ultra two, but then again a little bit more expensive than the Hyperion One's. Are these wheels worth it, or should I f.e. also look at the Corima Winium + HPS? Any other recommendations?
Thanks.

    What's your weight?
    Low profile carbon rims can be OK up to 65 Kg or so, any heavier/stronger and they feel like margarine...

    I am actually 63 kg, but the ROL website states a maximum weight limit for the C25R of 100 kg.

    Maximum weight is for safety and for liability, sensible weight is to make good use of them. I have built a few shallow carbon rims at 24 spokes and they are not particularly stiff wheels, so they will be OK for you, but not for someone heavier and more powerful
