Non Ceramic Pads on Ceramic Rims
What are the adverse affects of using Non Ceramic Brake Pads (Rim Wrangler 2) on Ceramic Rims (CrossMax)?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Less efficient braking, especialy in wet conditions. The ceramic specific pads are a little more abrasive than normal, because the ceramic coating is tougher to scratch than aluminum.

For comparison, I have "6 speed 105 brakes" (with the original pads) on my road bike. They work great with my 9-speed drivetrain

In my experience, they tend to squeel a lot also.
I have used the kool stop salmon regular pads fine on my crossmax sl's (recently sold).
I could not get the black rim wranglers to stop squeeling. Just get the green ones man!
