I was talking to a mechanic who works with a pro cyclocross team, he said they see far fewer rim issues with carbon rims than they used to see with aluminium.

When did they stop using alu? In the 90s or something. Anecdote isn't data.

I'm going to stick with the 10x cheaper alu stuff that I can at least bend into something usable in most cases.

@skinny has said similar about carbon rims if you want some more anecdata to go compare with your highly researched materials science

I don’t own any carbon rims but not becuase I don’t want to
