Reynolds Carbon Wheel Owners
Anyone use a different brand brake pad besides Reynold's pads? What was your experience?

Have used Swiss Stop and SRAM pads. They worked well.

Assuming your using the cryo blue pads, why use anything else? I've used Swiss stop, Koop stop, stock shimano, and campy. The Reynolds pads are the best of the bunch. Plus, using anything else voids the Reynolds warrenty.

Interestingly, that recent thread about wheel failures after severe descents several people talked about carbon wheel failure involving Swisstop Yellow pads. I made mental note of it because no other pads seemed to overheat the rims as badly. Could be coincidence or false correlation, I suppose. Low number of recorded events...

I have a set of DV3K Clinchers and use Swiss stop yellows... no issues here, descents and all. They see 700-1000 mi/month. The Reynolds road racing line of wheels used to come with a set of Swiss-stop yellows too.

It could just be luck of the draw, how one brakes, etc.
