I didn't think the second pre-order was open yet.  Do you mean you are in the second batch from the first order?

I've been planning on a new disc

there's a big thread on this over on Slowtwich.  from what I've read- everyone is super happy with their FLO wheels and is pretty much raving about them. 

 update:  here's that thread I was talking about:

much what I was going to say.

If I weren't Wheel Poor already I'd be all over them.

If it's a Plasma II it look like you're ok: http://forum.slowtwitch.com/gforum.cgi?post=4008722;search_string=flo%20scott;#4008722

If not, then you might be able to find more info on ST - or contact FLO directly.

Why would that the a problem on Scott frames specifically?

All wheels do have some kind of interaction with the fork, HED3, for example is a front wheel well known to work extremely well with some bikes, but not well at all with others (from an aerodynamic point of view). Depth per se will not have a negative impact on the aerodynamics of a frame... (but many times will aide the aerodynamics of the frame...)

Wide rims can be an issue with either brake clearance (and more so on bike with integrated brakes which may have limited width adjustments) and at time clearance between wheel and chain stay/seatstay (and it's not the wide rim per se, but the aerodynamic bulge that some manufacturers uses).

a lot of people with scott plasma frames complain about the wheel coming into contact with the front fork.  even scott has said don't use anything around 28mm in width as it will create a contact issue with the frame.  the Flo wheels are ~27.3 i think, so i was curious.
