New Wheels...seem very harsh....

Do they "ride in"? Will an older set have settled in and sorted themselves out?
Got the Shimano RS21 set from Ribble a couple of weeks ago. Put them on my Carrera Vanquish with a set of Rubino Pro tyres. Seemed to crash around a bit more than the standard wheels and tyres.
Have just snapped up a used Boardman Road Team Carbon with Mavic cxp22 rims and Opeen Corsa Evo tyres. Nice smooth ride, felt fast and supple. Everyone I mentioned it to said would be better to swap the Shimanos.
Swapped the wheels, tyres stayed on the same bikes. On the Carbon it's now banging about and feels harsh on anything but smooth Tarmac. The Carrera now feels really good again, smooth and much less harsh.
At the mo the Mavics are going back on the Carbon with the Rubinos.

Pretty much. I usually ride 100/105 F/R. The Corsas may have been slightly over last night but they were at the same pressure give or take 2/3 PSI on the Mavics.
I've heard good things about the Corsas so kept them on the Carbon. I likes how they felt in the Mavics compared to the Shimanos. They are Tubular Cinchers, not entirely sure how I would fix a puncture on them? I know Vittoria have Pitstop but that's not a long term fix.
Open Corsas aren't tubulars, they're clinchers which use normal inner tubes and punctures are repaired exactly the same as with any other clincher. The 'Open' designation means that they're constructed the same as their tubulars, but are left 'open'. This should have been pretty obvious when you changed over the tyres. :?

Could well be ambient. Need a more accurate pressure gauge I think.
It seemed that the inners were part of the actual tyre. I couldn't see or feel a seam or work out how it was attached other than immaculate gluing of the inner into the tyre. I did have a look online but couldn't find anything.
The Carrera was great tonight on the Mavics with Rubino Pro. I'll have a fiddle with the pressures on the Shimanos tomorrow night if I get a chance.
