"My carbon rim brakes are none of those things. Swisstop black prince pads are $50 for a set of 4 and disintegrate like cheese under hard braking.
I don't care how well made a brake track is - you can't beat physics."
[QUOTE=smashndash;22489839]don't worry too much about it. I still send it on my carbon rims. I just don't brake as late as I used to, and I avoid absurdly steep (like -10-13%) technical descents. Those aren't fun anyway. You spend more time braking than coasting.
Muddy the waters much?
To the OP- tubular carbon rims pretty much avoid the heat build up issues, and in my experience braking performance is fine rain or shine in my quite hilly area, that shouldn't be the reason to switch to tubular tires.
