Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Brake pad question

I have 2 wheelsets. The 1st is a pair of Ceramic OpenPro's laced to Chris King Hubs, the second are Bontrager X-Lite Aero's. I use the KoolStops for ceramic rims on the OpenPros, and change out the pads to regular KoolStops for the X-lites. I know that the ceramic rims will destroy the regular KoolStop pads, but what will happen if I run the Cearmic KoolStops with the X-Lites, will it damage the braking surface on the rim?
I am tired of swapping out brake pads when I switch rims, and was wondering if there was 1 set I could use on both?
