Yes, one of the effects which I wasn't really expecting from fitting my carbon wheels was the improvement in acceleration of the bike.
It stands to reason I guess but I hadn't expected the effect to be large enough to notice.
In fact, I've ended up dropping another tooth off the rear sprocket as a result of the improved straight line performance.
