XT Brake Pads

Marvel

Old School Hero
Fitted some XT vee brakes with geniun Shimano pads and while they work ok they sound horrible if I use them for more than a few seconds. It sounds as though the pad material is grinding away the rim. Are there different grades on brake pad for aluminium or ceramic rims?
 
yep, if you have ceramic rims you need the right pads, ie ceramic ones, shimano do them for £8 a pair or £7 a pair for standard aluminium.
 
Kool Stop and Aztec pads tend to be quieter and longer lasting but possibly not quite as powerful.
