Bought some carbon wheels

Just that. Fulcrum carbon 40mm. Anything I need to know about using them? Have ordered a set of suitable pads (rim brake)

Buy some tubes with long enough valves, and remember to put one of those in your seat pack when you are using them, otherwise it can lead to trouble...

It doesn’t hurt to put a valve extender in the seatpack at the same time.

Thanks all. I use plastic levers and will be on 60mm valves. Prob only use the wheels on flatter rides. The wheels were not madly expensive, just wanted to try them and see what the fuss is about.
