I'm confused -- I thought that C24s were aluminum brake track with carbon faring, but maybe there are multiple models. I had a set of C35 tubulars with Campy red pads and found the braking, especially in emergency situations, lacking.
Unlike @BdaGhisallo, my experience is that the best carbon rims I've tried do not stop as well as an aluminum track; granted, I have not tried the rim/brake combo that he praises. I have a new set of BTLOS rims paired with black SwissStop pads and, while the braking is much better than those Shimanos, I have a lot more confidence in the aluminum brake track of my HED Belgium+ rims and choose those wheels if there is a chance of precipitation.
