Hi, so far I have been using my tubular Ksyrium ES for muddy races but I'm planning to use a with 20mm carbon rims (generic) instead this season. On my carbonwheels for dry races I use Swissstop yellow. Is there a difference in the amount of wear depending on pads? If so what pads are good to use for mud and carbon rims?
I have used salmon koolstop for my Ksyriums and they seem to cause less wear on the rim than some other alu pads I've used. The pads them selves wear quite quick though.
Brakes are TRP EuroX carbons.
