Carbon pads, expensive or cheap ?
Moderator: robbosmans
Blue pads on ebay are ok for carbon? Are these the ones you talk about?

I've had good results with these, http://www.ebay.com/itm/221576302195 but I think most of it has to do with 6800 brakes. I have used them exactly 1 time in the wet, they are passable.

Not the same as came with Farsports wheels. Buy direct from them. I have ordered the new black pads they sell, said to give even more friction and better at higher tems. $10 a set. I have a set that came with my Planet-x ultraligh cnc brakes, but not used them since I never asked if they are for carbon brake surface.

No one uses Shimano OEM carbon pads? I have a set but haven't installed them yet.
I used them for a bit with C50's, now using the Swiss Yellow's.
Swiss yellow pads are the worst for putting heat into rims. I'd use something else, preferably pads recommended by the manufacturer.

Got a link to the Farsports pads you are taking about here ?
