Rigida Rims Braking Surface Problem

Smooth rims should brake well in the dry but may start to cause problems in the wet.
The best performance iv had from a rim brake would be a u brake on a chrome rim on a bmx.
That very same brake however became useless in the wet, like i could literally pull the lever with 2 hands and it wouldnt stop.
Maybe try a different pad. Both brakes you tried may have had similr pad compounds in em.

2 more months, and that advice would be exactly one year late.

Smiley face added, so you know that I wasn't being critical, just amused.
