Because braking on carbon rims just sucks in general. Alloy rims are the way to go for rim brakes or if you want carbon disc brakes all the way!
Make sure if your rims are for a specific pad you use that pad. Also note if you don't have Campagnolo shoes using Campagnolo pads is going to be tough and if you do have the proper shoes make sure you are again using the proper carbon pads for the rims assuming they are carbon.
