Hi Guys,
I've managed to scratch my carbon rim's braking surface by touching a kerb. By looking at the pictures, is the damage serious or not? Will there be any future problems if I use these wheels? These are links to photos: https://i.imgur.com/OvjS9Fk.jpg

    I wouldn't imagine scratches would cause a problem. The pads will probably wear any of the rough edges smooth in a fairly short time.

    Superficial scuffing - nothing to worry about - keep riding.

    Absolutely nothing wrong with those - carry on pedalling.

    You might get a judder when you brake for a while mind but it's not going to get any worse.
