AFAIK the general consensus is that carbon < alloy particularly in the wet. Certainty in my experience. That said, given that plenty of people (choppers like me and full-time pros) seem to manage just fine so that's not really the main issue.
I have some nice alloy race wheels now, and want to be able to pick and choose which wheelset I use with ease, plus have the ability to use both sets in a race if I flat

why alloy carbon though. Good carbon rims with the right pads brake very well. I know mine work as well as all the alloy rims I have with good pads with the same brakes in both wet and dry. if you go with tubulars you do not overheating issues unless you are really determined.
