I've been using the Black Prince pads for years now. They do the job. Certainly get a LOT more than 400 miles out of them.

Wondering why you would need to replace them at 400/600 miles?
I think it is a combination of the textured brake surface of the Mavics and fact that I average over 20k ft of climbing per week with aggressive descending. According to my Strava, this year I've put in 2,560 miles with 182k ft of elevation. Just bought a Canyon Aeroad disc so I'll be training mostly on that going forward and save my weight-weenie-approved rim brake bike for
PR attempts.
