Nah they're all interchangeable, you only need worry about the shape of the pads as Campag and Shimano are slightly different. Shimano also have a little pin that you insert into the housing to keep the pad in place whereas Campag just slide in.0

There are different patterns for road bikes and mountain bikes - MTB cartridge pads use the pin mentioned, whereas Shimano-pattern road pads had a retainer screw in the pack of the shoe, but both designs are pretty well ubiquitous - the only exception being Campagnolo road pads which have a different design.Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..0
