Thanks for the heads up. I knew carbon wheels used a different pad, but I didn't know what was different. I can't tell the difference by looks, at least not so far as I can see. I'll have to make sure to get a new set of pads for the spare wheels. I like how light the bike is but I can definitely tell a difference in the feel with the carbon wheels on it. I think I'll put those aside strictly for triathlons and use the aluminums for every day riding.
