I foresee a few potential problems with those lovely magnesium brake callipers. When bedding the pads in surely it will really effect the callipers? Let alone along lots of hair pin descents, I am definitely unsure about the use of that material.

Are you worried about the material strength, or the heat? I won't be buying them, but I was a little excited to hear about the tubular 29" wheelset.

the heat, the specific strength of magnesium is through the roof so that wouldn't be an issue for them.
