MSU, Merlin:
You're both right. I both can't convert my current bike from disc brakes to rim brakes and I also would lock myself to disc brakes if I bought nice wheels with disc brakes.
I think the idea to go with cheap, no-brand Chinese carbon is the way to go because who knows what will be on the market in 2-3 years; rim brake bikes might be going out of style, meaning they'll be cheap - and I'd want to jump on that. I already have the disc brake bike for wet weather biking, so that would not be a concern for me.
