I've been on carbon disc wheels less than 3 years on my all road bikes. What I've noticed, vs. the alloy disc wheels on my FS29er and old 26er, is that even though the wheels are lighter and lower spoke count, they are still true. And they've taken some real hits. Now for the first time I have some lightweight rim brake carbon wheels (thanks to Clean39T) and it will be interesting to see how they fare. I have to say the sound the pads make (Swissstop) when braking isn't lovely, it makes me think they're scratching up the rim, but when I look everything looks fine.
