What is the braking like on the LB rim brake versions? Toying with the idea of getting some.

They make claims about being good up until high temps, but anyone know what does that mean in practice?

The more expensive option is in my experience a bit better in the wet. The non basalt is fine though.

The options currently are basalt or graphene grooves (or something).

Basalt is good. I’ve not tried the grooved rims. It looks like they’d just eat pads.

Thanks, good to know.
is it approaching aluminium in the wet or still a bit sketchy?
