A rim brake confession

Carbon is a horrible material for a braking track. But both consumers and engineers saw that they could get lighter wheels if they went away from alloy braking surfaces. …and too often weight still rules.

I quite liked the HED Jets (iirc); 50mm carbon fairing with an alloy track. They were a little on the weighty side, but I still suspect the net effect will be/was lighter than a disc setup. I wonder if they still make them… must be a niche product now, if so.
