I've just bought myself some Planet X 50mm Carbon wheels for the new season. Rode them for the first time and nearly died. The difference from Alloy rims to Carbon is huge.
What brake blocks do you recommend ?

While I don't like them on the road because they are too grabby Swiss Stop King (yellows) are great for cross bikes.

Almost half the price w/like brake characteristics. In the dry, they arent grabby at all.

I had a team mate switch to them, from SS yellows; he claimed a huge braking improvement.
