As @Brommers says. Have been riding the grooved surface for the last 6 months. Hopped on a bike with alloy braking surfaces today and even in the dry it is night and day. Maybe the rims wont delaminate on descents but stopped performance hasn't improved anywhere near as much.
Reading LB’s website they offer at least 2 braking surfaces for the non-disc braked rims. Aside from the price difference is there any tangible way to assess the difference? I’ve seen “High TG surface” and “Grooved Graphene surface”
And my second question to any of you running either of these surfaces; how do they perform in damp / wet / downpour conditions compared to an aluminium rim?
Thirdly what pads are a proven choice to use with these rims?
