Question
Peformance with alloy rims?
Has anyone got any any idea how these pads perform on alloy rims? Are they comparable to the greens? I only ask because I'm trying to work out if they'd do the job equally well when swapping between alloy and carbon rims. Thanks a lot.

I used them on alloy rims and they did a good job. Not as good as the green ones, but adequate. however, I was always very careful to check for any embedded pieces of metal before swapping to my carbon wheels.

Not sure of the performance, but if you've ever checked and old set of brake blocks used on alloy rims, they have flakes of aluminium from the braking surface embedded in the pads. I wouldn't want that scraping across my expensive carbon rims.

G'day, I am using them on both alu and carbon rims and found them to be quite consistent across both. That said, the alu specific pads on my Campag Record brakes seemed to be firmer. I am getting use to these pads however and like the feel of them on both rims. Rgds, Steve

answer 5
As far as I'm aware SwissStop yellow can be used on carbon and alloy, though given the price, would you actually want to do this.

I've got SwissStop green on my training bike (with alloy rims) and yellow on my TT bike (with carbon rims). Yellow on carbon actually seems better than green on alloy, which is not what you would expect.

Sorry not to be able to help more, but I haven't tried yellow on alloy.

Yellow pads are designed for Carbon rims but can be used on Alloy rims also. The Green pads are designed specifically for alloy rims and will provide a benefit over the yellow pads when using alloy rims. The yellow pads are great if you have carbon rims but also have alloy rims for training and need to change over as the green pads shouldn't be used with carbon rims.

The swisstop pads are meant to be effective and silent in all conditions and are well reviewed, which may mean they have a slight edge on the dura-ace pads.

G'day, I recently installed the full cartridge version on Campag Record skeleton brakes (pre-11 speed but I think that the design is near enough the same). Rgds, Steve.

Question
Is setting toe possible with these brake shoes?
Do these brake shoes have attachment system, which allows setting toe (i.e. front end of the pad will strike the rim first when braking) without bending the bending caliper arms or cutting toe into the pad?

Yes, the hex nut that attaches the block to the brake caliper has some "play" in it. Loosen the nut, adjust the alignment of the brack block and re-tighten. The concave shaped washer will fit to the convex section of the block to hold it in place.
