650c carbon wheels will be comfortable for smaller rider using small frame.
Planet X is a good brand of carbon bike,quality should be good.
There is no doubt that some carbon products are made in Xiamen China
Great thanks for this my nievaty only just realised they were 650c! Looking at other planet x carbon wheels people are saying they are not the lightest. I will look at other threads on here in detail for recommended carbon wheels. Thank you
The 'problem' you may encounter with fitting 650C (usually seen on tri bikes or smaller framed bikes) is brake caliper reach to the brake tracks on the rims and also generally 650C will be narrower and the current trend is for wider rimmed wheels.
The narrower rims (may) mean less comfort - using narrower tyres or ballooning of the tyres if using wider ones than can 'comfortably fit' on 650C rims...tyre choice will be limited in comparison to 700c wheels.
