Bumping this... I have the fear.
After the vintage Juna trispoke was serviced I was in a hurry to test it, so asked and bought the recommended off-the-shelf jobs from the not-so-lbs.
They're Clarks "CPS200/CARB" brand, apparently for carbon rims (brown/yellow colour, dusty). Don't have the cash right now to blow out on Swiss Stops, but will I be okay for now do you think?
Not planning on any serious riding with the wheel yet, but more worried cheap pads may ruin the carbon rim.
Tested for a couple stops, the rim isn't totally true as expected, so there are points with more dust/wear than others just for the 10 minute test. Went home sheepish. Too many horror stories of people destroying rims with incorrect pads...
Worse still, I paid rrp...!
