: Has anyone experienced premature rim wear with the 98 Shimano Ultegra brake pads. I have less than 500 miles on Mavic Open Pro's and it looks as if grooves are starting to appear on these rims.
Hi Dana! I have Mavic SUP Ceramic Rims & have put over 1200 miles on them using the Shimano 1998 Ultegra brake pads. My concern is that i am fast running out of pad material i have not noticed any undue stress to the rims but probably the ceramic braking surface is helping. i can't locate replacement pads from any bike shop around here. Shimano apparently could care less!! pje
