: I'd like to know if someone has had the same problem and can help me in finding the most suitable solution.

Hi Andrea! Alex is absolutely correct in what he says re your problem. i use Mavic ceramic rims & found that the rims "ate up" my first set of DurAce pads in very short order but after the "break in" period my second set of pads are lasting well. i should ad that i am not an aggresive rider at all which would obviously make a big difference. Slight "toe-in" of the pads, as Alex advises is a must! Ride safe. pje
