Thanks for that. Which pads do you use with the Record skeletons? With the Potenza calipers, there is a little grub screw on the back of the brake shoe, which secures the pad when you've slid it in from the front. The Record shoe looks different - no grub screw and no obvious way of sliding the pad in - I understand they are a friction fit or something like that? Cheers, Jon

Potenza calipers (and now Centaur too) use Shimano compatible brake pads rather than Campagnolo ones (finally!), so any Shimano-compatible brake pads will work in those calipers. The brake pads that come with Potenza are definitely very good, but I haven't had experience with the Record ones to compare them to. In any case, I don't think you'd get an improvement in braking performance by switching calipers.

As Scily.Suffolk has pointed out, Kool Stop Salmons and Swissstop BXP pads are popular choices for good brake pads.

Really?

You'd think Swissstop could mention as much, rather than just saying their Campag pads aren't compatible with Potenza.
