Stick with normal pads on alum rims, cork really sucks on it and zipps only kinda suck on it.

braking on carbon rims is ****tier all the time.. no matter what. it just doesnt have the same feel.
I do not think so.
I was referring to this general statement:
"carbon resin is a pretty **itty braking surface to begin with"
