Also, if you've seen rims that have what you want, I'd recommend buying those and having them laced to applicable hubs. SS/FG carbon wheels will pretty much never have an aluminum brake track because the only common application for carbon wheels on SS/FG bikes is brakeless track/crit racing.
I understand the carbon track wheels for brakeless fixed gear but it was just wishful thinking that they would have something for SS.

They are Heavy Pedal and can be custom ordered with either a machined or non-machined braking surface. I’m not sure if they are available anymore, however.

Usually the damage is caused from dragging the brakes on long descents.

Your cog is slipping.
I hate this forum.

CLEARLY you aren't thinking in the 4th dimension. If you formulate the lateral stability of the resins melting point, the outcome can be defined in chemical breakdown of the tubular glue in a negative pressure environment. From this we can conclude that decades of research that you have completed on your own can be plugged into a data nodes of road races on carbon rims and speeds of up to 60mph. When you do the long division of these calculations, we can conclude that the answer is.. Its possible.
OK, whatever. Having raced for decades in mountainous road races with descents up to 60 mph with carbon rims, I never had them heat up to the point of the resin melting. Had they gotten that hot, no doubt the tubular tire glue would have liquified first. But maybe I live in a different universe than you do.

My comment was in response to the statement that the resin melts.
Things become softer when heated. Friction does greater damage when things are softer.
CF bicycle wheels don't get hot enough to "Melt".

Can we talk about bicycle tire tread patterns and hydroplaning next?

I'm not anti-carbon clincher by any means(I have several carbon clincher wheelsets), just pointing out a potential problem.
FTR, I work for a carbon fiber frame-builder that also does a ton of frame repairs. Nearly every day we receive calls about repairs of carbon clinchers damaged from braking heat.

I can certainly type up my in depth scientific knowledge on all 3 of those subjects if you guys want.
