Pads for cermamic rims on standard rims

Dare

Senior Retro Guru
I have set of NoS XTR pads for ceramic rims which I would like to use, if it is alowed, on a standard rim.

Has anyone tried this? Will it work? What could happen?
 
Re:

Don't use ceramic pads on standard rims as they'll wear down the rim surface!

I misguidedly tried this once and ditched them for the journey home :facepalm: – after refitting normal ones.

The ceramic pads sound like they are sanding and scouring down the rim as you brake :shock:

You should hear them with wet mud . That has the grinding off sound that makes you glad you bought them. A quiet chuckle that your ceramic free friends rims are grinding away.
I know, to be smug over simple things :oops:

It was quite a moment listening to them grinding away as I was hurtling down this long steep road with a roundabout at the bottom...
