I just purchased a cheap road bike (Trek Emonda ALR 5 2018) with rim brakes and plan on upgrading it with a used CF wheelset, to get the best bang for my buck.
Of course I've watched a bunch of videos and read articles beforehand, but I'd still like to know what the community thinks.
In the interest of a balanced discussion I'll present common arguments made in favor and against rim brakes with CF wheels.
Pro: maintenance, weight, affordability
Cons: outdated, degenerative, ugly
