The problem is that carbon fiber itself is a good conductor while the resin isn't. So depending on the construction technique you could have a pretty heat conductive rim. And if they were to put it together with graphene strips that a whole other ball game since graphene conducts heat 30 times better than aluminum.

Watch for bike brakes that use heat pipes.

Heavy trucks working in the mountains of California used to use water
