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

I got caught in a wet descent (and ascent) on Furka last august, definitely sketchy but do-able with swissstop black prince pads.

While not on par with aluminum rims in brake performance in wet (for mountain climbing only wheels I would spec shallow Kinlin's) all-round I'm pretty happy with the LB grooved rims.

edit: I live in Belgium so the terrain is not really over demanding for brake carbon rim brake performance, even in Ardennes or Eifel regions.
