splitting hairs.
I've got a set of aluminum (Easton R90SL) rims on my CX/gravel bike and they've been pretty bomb proof over several seasons of road, gravel, singletrack and generally not being nice to them. I finally dented a rim at Monster Cross this year (stream crossings... ) and had it relaced with new nipples and rims. Maybe it would have survived longer if carbon, but, I'd need several more rim replacements before I approach the same cost of using carbon rims.
