A friend did the Death Ride back when it was longer, I think 150 miles, and it rained hard for a lot of it. He had Campagnolo brakes, not Delta, and that was all he talked about when he relived the ride. He said they howled on every descent and would barely slow the bike.
I did the Angeles Crest century and it started raining hard at Hwy 39. I had Ultegra rim brakes and it was an adventure. Black aluminum goop was all over me and the bike.
I have Campy Record brakes on my Storck. They’re okay. The 20+yo Dura Ace brakes on my old Time are better.
