Orient Express - Cheap Chinese Rims / Wheels / Forks / Frames / Cranks / Etc

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.

Yeah I'm riding brakeless, those wheels will probably be a grouped christmas present.
Although I know a crack on a carbon rim is more dangerous than a dent on a aluminum one, I ride fast but cautiously hence I don't worry too much (ie : I've never wrecked a wheel).
