Strengths: None. They have the Cache of saying you actually bought Italian pads, but I guess that still a weekness.Weaknesses: They dont work. Easy as that.Bottom Line: Easy as this, campy pads are absolute junk. I bought these for $40.00, and guess what they half less that half the braking power of the Kool Stops I replaced this foreign junk with. These pads have the braking power of classic catilever brakes. They are a joke, Campy get it together.

Strengths: Calssic Campy durability, quality, and styleWeaknesses: Spare parts are hard to find and expensiveBottom Line: These brakes are very solid and classy to boot. The other review said they had questionable stopping power but I can lock my wheels from 21+ mph. Maybe it depends on hand strength. It is probably the case that newer brakes require less pressure but there are times when that could bad too. I have never had any problem with them.

Strengths: It's Campy. Lasts forever.Weaknesses: The pads aren't the weak part of the Super/Nuovo Record setupBottom Line: Hey, if you still have these brakes then this is the pad you want, 'cause back in the day the pad was simply fit into a holder and you don't want to give that up.... These last almost forever, I suppose if you're reading this then you've worn yours out but if so you already know all about these brakes.
Stopping power? Questionable. Slowing power, say if you're in a pack and just want a little speed modulation? That's what these brakes are all about.
If you want classic, you must buy these. If you want better technology, buy something newer.
Why is there no "old-school" or "retro-cool" rating? I'd have to give these a 5....
