I have a new pair of wtb pads for ceramic rims. You can have them for free if You want as I bought the wrong type and dont plan on going back to V or getting ceramic rims in the future.

I used standard pads on ceramic rims many years back, and contrary to what all the magazine articles said, the pads actually seemed to last a lot longer than before, however they were prone to glazing up in dry weather so needed regular roughing with 'wet or dry' paper.
