Road brake pads for carbon rim

[Rocket-Boy]

Hey guys, bit of a noob when it comes to this.

Im looking for brake pads for carbon rims, it seems they are different to the ones for normal alu rims.

Im running dura-ace 7800 brakes if it makes a difference.

Any recommendations?

As meezo says swisstop all the way.

 

They are a bit more expensive, but worth every rand spent!

Thanks for the replies, are there specific swissstop ones for carbon or are they all ok?

The black prince ones dont look too expensive at around R480 for front and back sets.

Black Prince make it feel like a normal alu wheel braking and they carbon sepcific pads.

Swisstop if price not an issue.

They also have some cheaper options:

Local carbon wheel suppliers (Darkhorse, Concept etc) should also be able to help.

 

RavX, BBB etc also make cork pards for carbon which most LBS should have. (± R150)
