Yeah but I'm a tight ass!!! Haha
I bought some 2ndhand so they were bout the same price as any other decent carbon wheel..,
Ross:
I'm running Swissstop yellows now and they are terrible... No modulation, squeal, and reports of overheating and rim damage...

I looked at most of the usual US sites, where the enve blocks are cheapest...
Postage however from any of the US sites is the killer... Between $35 & $50 mostly...
Ended up getting them from sigmasports... $67 delivered... Might try the Reynolds as well, thanks for the tip fellas...

I was talking with a mate after today's race and he runs the same brake pads (Swissstop yellows) on both his alloy and carbon wheels. I expressed concern about the pads picking up micro bits of aluminium and damaging the carbon wheels but he reckons there's no problem.

I am with you Ross there is no way I would use the same pads for both carbon and alloy.
Love the performance oy swisstop yellow but plan to give the new black prince a try.
