I've used those rims with the shimano d/a black pads and had good results.



that said I will go through maybe 2 pair of pads per winter.

I'm using a set of Mavic Open Pro Ceramic rims on my rain bike (because regular aluminum rims just get wasted on the braking surface because of all the grit). I'm using the Coolstop green brake pads (for ceramic rims) and they work fine in the dry but don't stop very fast in the wet at all. Has anybody used the regular Coolstop (black) brake pads on ceramic rims? Do they:

    1. wear out really super fast    

2. work at all    

3. stop faster than the green ones in the wet    

4. harm the ceramic braking surface    

Or anything else?

    Sorry if this is on topic… ;-)
