To be honest- I do not have a problem braking in the wet. Once I have got the rims dry and I suppose a bit warm- I would say that there is a negligible difference in braking. I only have one bike with the alternative brakes that supposedly are better- but that bike is the Tandem and it needs them.

I do keep my bikes in good condition and that does mean that the wheel rims and brake blocks are always good but being in the UK I am used to wet weather riding. We may lack grip through the tyres on wet roads- but at least I still have good brakes
