Well designed carbon rims are surprisingly durable: https://youtu.be/VfjjiHGuHoc


When carbon fiber rims were new we still had not transitioned to disk brakes. You had to keep an extra eye out for misaligned brake pads to make sure they weren't dragging on surfaces not meant for friction contact. Now they make more sense. But also different loads on a wheel under braking than before, but also more like a wheel under acceleration, which is torsional force on the other side of the axle and pointed the opposite direction.
