Price Paid:  $0.00 at came with the brakes

Summary:
2 months of Michigan's winter conditions wore them down way past the wear lines. I know Michigan has crappy weather, but no brake pad should last that short. I hate to think what I'm doing to my rims - but not for much longer, since my next set of pads will be Kool Stops.

Weaknesses:
short life in winter

Bike Setup:
Gazelle Demax (slooping, oversized and tapered Reynolds 531)
Dura-Ace
Time club fork
Mavic Cosmic Equipe wheels

Summary:
Be sure which type of Dura-Ace pads to use... and evaluate.

Strengths:
The soft version works very well on non-ceramic rims. The compound of these pads is the same as the former 8 speed pads.

Weaknesses:
The firm version that was initially shipped with all new Dura-Ace groupsets was too agressive on many rims (including my Campagnolo Omega and Mavic Cosmic Equipes), resulting in excessive wear and insufficient braking. I even found small parts of rim in the brake pads!
