: 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.
Dana! its me again! i know this sounds kind of corny & i'm sure you have already checked this out but be sure to inspect each brake-pad where it contacts your rim for any signs of grit or other debris. i perform this easy inspection every 2 weeks ( depending on mileage & where i have ridden) to be sure that the pads are "clean". pje
