Are rim brake wheels going to be phased out?
Will there be a run on the few remaining showstopper wheels (or equivalents from other companies)?
I think the $2500-3000 rim brake wheels are certainly in their last days. There just aren’t that many companies making and, probably More importantly, selling many high-end rim brake bikes. I have a hard time thinking of companies Other than Pinarello and Bianche. If a company’s rim brake bikes are just lower end $1500 bikes there aren’t going to be many people putting a set of $3000 wheels on one.
