I recently rode cross country with carbon front rims and aluminum rims on the rear. TRP 957 brakes. Mfg required pads up front on the carbon rims with Kool Stops on the rear. I found that the front carbon rims braked better in the rain in the mountains. I wondered why. I wondered if the rims were so hot that the rain just sizzled off them.
