Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Braking on Chinese carbon better than Zipps

I have had a pair of Chinese rims from ebay seller carbonzone and have a couple thousand miles on them. Using black prince pads the braking requires less pressure than on Firecrests with the same pads. Just thought I'd share since everything I've read about the Zipp's braking was nothing but praise.

I like onlycarbonwheels' carbon rims with Black Princes. No complaints at all.
