I gotta protest this rim brakes don't work in the rain thing. It sure sucks if the rims are steel, but with alloy, you just need to give a quick pre-squeeze or two to clear the water off. Perhaps in a true emergency situation you will lose a critical second or two, but I find when riding in

I tried both and found that neither could stop my bike when the rims were wet, even with Kool Stop salmon pads. They worked OK in the dry, though. Eric On Thu, Jan 25, 2018 at 4:16 PM, lum gim fong
