BST should be paying you for that photo! The rear wheel is better than any of the BST stock photo. I didn't know the spokes fold into one another!
...so jealous...

Wow, thanks for the comments. None of the pictures I've seen do them justice, including this one. Where the spokes meet the outer rim, you can see how the fabric folds into the rim. Its like the spokes are woven into the outer rim.
Turn-in is way fast; but, part of that is probably the new tires. As others have said, you have to recalibrate how much force you use when you push on the bars. I had some concerns that straightline stability might be compromised, but I was riding in some pretty good cross-winds today and didn't have any concerns.
I actually got them used. The PO said that he only put ~700 miles on them, and I believe him because they are nearly in mint condition.

Wheel does look great. Im just not a big fan of carbon fiber. Would love to have the benefits of a lighter wheel though.
Again, NICE WHEELZ

I have the 'Fusion' material. When this wears out, I'm going with the 'Snakeskin', its a little thicker and grippier.

is there any thing compromised with CF wheels at all? Any concerns with using them on an everyday bike? I really really love these and my white wheels are a pregnant dog to keep clean. But I do ride often and to work at least a few times a week.

Carbon fiber can be susceptible to UV exposure. BST uses a UV resistant epoxy or clearcoat, so that should help. I don't know if UV exposure everyday would be a long term problem. I do most of my daily commuting on the Aprilia these days, the Duc is more or less a weekend toy, and it is always stored indoors.
The strength/reliability of CF wheels has been the subject of much controversy. I suggest that you research the subject and make up your own mind. I did just that, and I believe that the benefits far outweigh the risks.
