Nice. Love that Bianchi too.
Anyone here got ceramic rims? I bought the shimano ceramic v pads for mine but they're absolute rubbish. Swapped back to normal pads but they're extremely squeaky / kinda shuddery. Almost too grippy - brakes are on or off.
Maybe the shimano ceramic specific pads are just whack? Finding any other type is hard. I read somewhere you need to bed in the rims with normal pads, then switch to ceramic pads. Is that a thing? The rims have never been braked on before as far as I can tell.
