Not sure where to post this, but thought I would try here....

I am sure a lot of use run carbon wheels for racing. How does everyone change their brake pads?

On the weekend my mate said he swaps the whole brake shoe? I never thought about that, I have been swapping the pads all the time!

    just as easy to swap the whole assembly - chances are you may need to adjust the pads for the different rim anyway, so by the time you've swapped the pads and done that then you might as well have changed the whole lot.

    Save the hassle, just buy another bike identical but for the wheel set up for training on :oops:

    I swap the entire pad/holder assembly. And use worn pads to make fitting them to wide carbon rims easier!
