Aye

yes, it’ll brake better too

..but your pads will last about a third of the time they normally do..

like a third of one wet ride rather than just one wet ride 😉

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.

mieszko,

thats very good of you, thanks – if you email me i’ll paypal you the postage cost!

i love stw

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.
