Have pity on me and give me a great deal on deeper (50+mm) carbon clinchers

I have a strict budget (~$500) and am looking for deeper (50+mm) carbon wheels without resorting to the Chinese Ebay offerings. I am hoping someone has more wheelsets than they know what to do with and want to make a few bucks unloading a set on me. :-) Offset sizes (60/80, 55/88, etc.) are welcome. If your set is a mix with a disc or wheelcover, that would also be considered.

Have some pity and set me up!!!

Go to planet-x, they have 50/82/101 sets for around 600.

I am looking for clinchers, so it would have to be their 60mm set. But that is still about $100 over my budget, so I am hoping for a used set of something will show up in this thread.

Are you comfortable on Chinese carbon? I ordered a set of 60mm clinchers that should be here any day now.

There is tons of discussion about them here, with different options and price points. http://forums.roadbikereview.com/...ad-2-0-a-241788.html

I am comfortable with them as far as changing them during races, etc., and don't feel like going tubular at this point.

How does this help someone who wants to buy something? Maybe I'm going to start responding to WTB's with "I have a belly button"

I don't think a comeback is really possible...your knockout line was just so awesome. I'm sitting here trying to recover, but I may need another day or two.

I'll let you know when I've recuperated enough to respond wittily.
