#BikeNitePQ #BikeTooter Has anyone seen brake pads like this before? This is my second time coming across pads that look just like this (the plastic and brake material shapes) on a road bike. Look closely; those shiny silver bits? chunks of rim! I yanked these off and replaced them on my bike with Salmon Coolstops, but only after the metal bits wore grooves into my rim, ugh #BikeCommuterCabal

@trouble pads used on aluminum rims always do that, right? That's one reason we swap pads when swapping from aluminum to carbon wheels. Aside from the different compounds for heat management, you wouldn't want those melted aluminum bits digging into the carbon.
