Carbon Wheels with Rim Brakes - Obsolete?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Were the components not consistent with the description of them?

Read the terms, that's why they're there.
Ha, if you aren't able to say it isn't the case, then it definitely is the case.
Hopefully you make some money and the buyer knows what they are getting into, so everyone wins.

If I were selling tubular tires that fact would be clear in the components list.

What is it about this obvious practice of transparency that you don't understand?

Weaklings always seek the comfort of their peers when pressed. In a forum this is expressed by liking each other's posts.
