Re: New to cycling

I have a pair of Carbon Speed Cycle carbon rims on my Avanti Cadent. They were straight and true when they arrived, and still are after a year. I haven't ridden the bike since June, and was always nervous on any descent, being wary of overheating the braking surface. The carbon rims seemed to go through the brake pads a lot quicker than an alloy surface.
I've got the Zonda's on the new bike, and they weigh in about the same as the carbon rims, but with a better braking surface. I think I'll sell the carbon rims now.
