Really wish they would've used aluminum rims on the rim brake bike. "Naked" carbon fiber rims are known to be bad braking surfaces.

My bike has rim brakes. When I had a forced wheel upgrade, I rulled out carbon rims because a dirty break pad could destroy an expensive carbon rim in no time at all.

I told the mechanic, I will save the carbon rims for when I get a disk brake bike.
