You must be around people who don't use proper carbon brake pads
. I ride Edge 68 clinchers and I used shimano durace carbon specific pads for a couple days and they were horrible. Screeched to no end. Everybody from miles around could hear me braking.
A set of Swissstop yellows took care of everything. Not a single peep in a thousand miles or more plus the braking power is really nice and strong.
Hmm this makes me wonder about my carbon wheelset. I am running a set of 50mm full carbon tubulars with swiss stop yellow pads and they make horrible noises!! Maybe I don't have the brake calipers adjusted properly? Once again, I feel like we're hijacking this thread but now im interested!!
