brake pad holders and pads shimano compatible with campy brakes ?
I don't like the sound of my brakes ( Miche- campy compatible) and I want to try shimano instead.
I just want to swap the pads not the whole brakes.
Would this be possible ?
Thanks

You can probably buy and install just the Shimano-type pad holders and use Shimano cartridge replacement pads.
Harris Cyclery has Tektro-made compatible holders with Tektro pads and Bike Tools Etc has Kool-Stop pads in Shimano compatible holders.

Shimano pads are widely considered to be crap, so I don't see why you would want to use them in the first place. Get Campy compatible Ritchey (do they exist?) or Kool Stop pads.

Shimano pads were eating up my Spinergy rims. I switched to Kool Stop & I will never go back to Shimano brake pads. I am very happy with the Kool Stop products.
