Yeah I echo the same experience. Rim brake performance on carbon is frighteningly bad. Literally frightening.
Scary moment for me coming down a hill in the rain with a roundabout at the bottom. Sold the wheels after that. Fuck dying for the sake of rad looking deep section rims.
But if you absolutely have to have carbon rims then disc brakes are the only valid option

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?
