For the diff in price between carbon and alu, could we not just buy some sweet alu rims and behave like Specialized....buying new ones every year (used ones can get recycled) so we can add another millimetre or two to width as things “improve” and we can appear to remain up to date in front of our buds?! ;) I mean, who keeps their bike more than a few years? And with changing standards, the “investment” argument for carbon is weak.
