30mm alloy or 50mm carbon clincher?
Looking for opinions..
I'm looking into a new set of wheels and have it down to Williams System 30x alloy or 50 carbons. The 30x wheels would be ordered new from Williams and 50mm carbons are on CL used with 150 miles on them. New the 50mm's cost $1000 and they are asking $550 with brake pads and skewers.
Would it be ok to use a 50mm carbon clincher wheel as a daily rider?
Thanks

There ya go. We need to ride again. This time of year gets busy for me and the riding slows way down. We need to get you up here one time on a Sunday afternoon and do a nice ride 
BTW, one of the guys I ride with has a cheap set of Boyd Carbon wheels ( under 1200 bux) and they flex like hell on the hills here and make the most gawd awful sounds when he brakes and spent a small fortune on brake pads.. you ALWAYS get what you pay for

I may have to put my Roubiax back together and use it for the this winter. It just sits collecting dust with a broken crank. I meant to ask before but what was your surgery for if it's any of our business?

I had Umbilical Hernia surgery.
I wish I would have known you were in need of a crankset. I just sold a very nice Ultegra 6600 53/39 with 175mm arms.
