So recently I took my gravel bike on a few exploration rides and more than once ended up in territory that would have been much more suited to full-sus MTBs than gravel bikes. It's part of the fun and the bike held up well but I did notice a few scuffs and scratches on my Farsports carbon gravel wheels.

To a degree in the terrain I rode that kind of stuff is pretty much unavaoidable, so I assume it's been factored into the design of carbon rims that are meant to be used offroad? Or am I wrong? Anything I should do about those marks or can I regard them as battle scars that should be displayed proudly?
