Hi!
I just bought my first set of carbon wheels (Neuvation C50 clinchers). I'd like to put on a set of 700x28 Grand Bois tires at about 95psi, figuring that the increased air volume will give me a smoother ride and reduce the risk of bottoming out the rims.
I'm a larger rider (210 pounds). Is there any problem with running a large tire on carbon rims? They should fit fine in my frame.
Thanks!

There's no functional problem with doing that. Given the CF rims that Neuvation uses, the 28mm tire will decrease the aero efficiency of your rims, but if you're cool with that, go for it. If nothing else. The Grand Bois tires aren't universally known for being durable.
