I used to buy CD rims- but found that the coating does give better braking- But It did not last long before it wore off (Mountain biking). Once it wore off a slight loss of braking did occur but not drastically

thanks.

Not used ceramic myself but know of several Road Tandems that use ceramic and Cracking and chips are not that common. It does occur but it just wears the pads a bit quicker.
