LB is now offering 2 carbon spoke types. One is their "race" type which only works with their proprietary hub, which looks decent. Kind of a winspace clone, but IMO the new winspace hubs look better than the LB offering. The "standard" spoke offers compatibility with any hub, which is much more attractive to me.

I've also started using campy red pads with my AR56 wheels w/ grooved graphene brake tracks. They work much better than black prince IMO. Way better initial bite, way less glazing/squealing/howling (though not none). There's a 3 minute technical 10% descent near me that overheats my rims pretty easily. So far, the fade has been much more manageable, and I'm only using them in the front. Only tested dry so far but I can't imagine they'd be worse in the wet.

I believe black prince has been named as the go-to pad for LBs but I really like the campy reds more. Hopefully they don't make my wheels assplode.
