Been using the Koolstop Green ceramic pads with my Mavic Open Pro ceramic rims and wanted to find something that stops better. I also just started using the SwissStop green pads which aren't specifically designed for ceramics but they sure do stop well in wet and dry. Only thing I don't like is they're wearing pretty fast and I don't want to buy new pads all the time at SwissStop prices. So anyone tried Shimano's ceramic specific pads?

    Pads wear quicker means rims wear slower... Considering your rims have been discontinued by Mavic, you want to extende their life... So bring on soft pads.

    I also use the Swissstop green on my OP ceramics, which work well. Not brilliant in the wet I admit but very good in the dry.

    I've just bought a set of Shimano ceramic pads so we'll see how they go.

    So in short, I'm in the same boat :wink:

    I am confused by what wheels these can be used with?

    Aluminium or carbon C24's?
