I hd the same issue with the brake pads supplied with the wheels from wiggle. Cpagnolo free hub but Shimano pads. They have sent me the correct ones out though.
Are people running the pads parallel to the rim or toeing them in a little as normal?

I got a set of the Mille recently. Look great and I do think the braking is improved...that's from my previous Shamals with SwissStop pads.
Only slight squealing of brake pads.
Main issue I have is that I came back yesterday from only my second ride on them and I have patches of silver showing through on the brake track that I believe is supposed to stay black

Using the supplied blue pads.
Yes, it was wet which I imagine did the damage.
I had read they were supposed to stay black but not a footnote attached saying only if it stays dry.
If I wanted them to stay black and knew that I would've checked it was going to be a dry day

Kind of impractical if the brake surface doesn't stay black unless ridden only on dry conditions. I was planning to have Shamal Milles as my "rainy day" / training wheelset. Maybe I should just buy regular Shamal Ultras or something else w/ aluminium coloured braking surface.

Hi could you post some pictures of the worn brake track please?
I've just taken delivery of a set of Mille. If the brake track shows signs of wear after a ride in the rain I'll be a bit disappointed.
Did you register your wheels for warranty?
Hi,
I would post a picture if I could/knew how!
No, I don't bother with the register as my warranty claim will be with the seller.
Wiggle got in touch yesterday and said they can confirm it's a common problem. I've to send them for inspection but looks like
they'll send a new set out.

Nice wheels! but be careful about brake rim. it's easy to be damage.
I am now 11 weeks into my Mille wheelset.
4380km done and 49476m accent (and decent for that matter) and the blue brake pads are now on the limit lines.
Not so good in my books.
No signs of the coating coming off just yet so that is all good.
Good all-round wheelset.

Is anyone riding the Shamal mille, and have the same problem i have. My Shamal mille rear wheel is sqeeking like crazy when i just touch the rear brake verry gentle, the front wheel doesn't seem to have the same problems, front wheel is perfect. I am running the new FSA delta brakes with the original bleu pads that came with the wheels.

I had the same 'issue' as you. Front silent, rear one very loud. Just aply some toe-in, and case closed It might have to do with brake calipers alose, being less stiff at the back. At least, that's my impression with the single pivot campa rear brakes being more flexy than the front one... No idea about the FSA brakes.

Not yet in approx 3000 miles and only a few slightly wet rides, so, maybe not a good reference for you.
