My 50x's, 50mm deep carbon rim, 24 spokes 2 crossed in front, 28 spokes 2 crossed in the rear make more a pretty stout wheelset.
Josh went with the Rev 30's, a 30mm alloy rim with a 24 spoke radial front and a 28 spoke 2 cross rear. Joshie has ridden to work a few times and says he's enjoyed his wheels, with the exception of a loud freewheel (which I also had but after opening up the hub and applying a little grease, it went silent, I mean dead silent, you can't hear me coming...).Will opted for the Rev 50's. a 50mm deep carbon tubular rim with 20 spoke radial front and a 24 spoke 2 cross rear. He can get away with these for road and cross since hes about 5 foot nothing and a buck 30...We're hoping with the addition of these wheels the Hoff boys will be able to pull out a couple of Ws this year. Now be it on the road or off is another story all together. Just keep a look out, odds are we'll be ahead of you... HA!

That squeal usually comes from bad/too hard pads. Try Swisstop Yellow carbon pads. Or take a flat file and take a little amount of the pad braking surface off. Brown cork pads used to work good for me, but I can't find those anymore. I'm assuming you know not to use regular ole' black aluminum rim pads on a carbon rim.
Pretty!
