Here are the results of my question about ceramic rims.
Some feel that you don't get much better stopping power no matter what
color of Coolstop brake pads you use.
Others feel that any color, other than than the green, yeild better
stopping performance but the other colors wear out faster.
Some have only used Shimano D/A black and have been satisfied with that
pad.
There was a recommendation to toss the rain bike for a cross bike type
commuter with disk brakes. However, that's a bigger investment, yet my
life might somehow be worth $1,500 bucks. :)
Thanks all for the input.
