To get on a more serious level, I'm genuinely interested in getting a carbon wheelset for street use. Although I know that higher spoke count equals a more durable why would a 24h rear wheel with a super-wide carbon rim would not be suitable ?
I mean the carbon rim compensate the lower spoke count, when I see trackies rockin on 20h zipp 404 which must produce far more stress than a skid I ask myself "why the fuck not" ?
Any experiences or you guys keep thinking it's completely retarded.
The serious answer to this is that if you're riding brakeless a carbon clincher makes sense. With no rim braking you dont have the stress of weakening your rims ability to hold your tyre on. Plus I would'nt want to be skidding tubs anyway for obvious reasons.
Dont worry about the stress of skidding.
The only question, is wether you'd really want to mash around town on pricey carbon rims. A dent in an alu rim is usually ignorable. A crack in a carbon rim less so. So its a bigger outlay for less resiliance.
But meh. If you have the funds, buy some fat carbon rims, and ride the fuck out of them.
