Shimano ceramic brake pads compatibility

[Asha]

I think i may have made an error with à recent purchase of brake pads.

They are the Shimano R55C Ceramic replacement pads suitable for Dura-Ace, Ultegra and 105 systems.

I run Mavic ksyrium Maxtal rims ......can someone confirm wether these pads are suitable for Maxtal rims or not please.

Thanks in advance

Aren't ceramic suitable for carbon fibre surfaces?

I dunno for sure.......t'is why i asked my original question

Try em out and report the results

they're for carbon fibre rims, and will be pretty much useless on alloy hoops - wear away in 3-4 applications either disappearing in smoke (while not stopping you) or leaving a thick layer of gloop on the side of the rim.

Get the normal ones - http://www.wiggle.co.uk/shimano-dura-ace-7900-pair-of-inserts/

I'd post appropriate replies Paul, but my supplies of sarcasm are a tad low atm !!

Cheers Mark,

I had à feeling they would be insuitaible......no big deal, they didn't cost the earth and i can pass them on.

Thanks for the link
