^^ For racing - rim brakes are fine but in my experience cantis (properly set up etc) were diastrous after the rims had been chewed up after a Winter's use.
All the off road grit etc destroyed the braking surface of a pair of Fulcrum 7s making wet weather commuting 'interesting'.
Conversely have been having a great time late braking in all weathers on my Tripster. Side benefit is mending punctures doesn't cover your hands in brake dust either.
