hi, i have a set of non-tubeless, clincher Zipp 303 wheels (rim brake obviously).
and i searched for compatible brake pads. but Campagnolo brake pads weren't listed as being compatible.
i'm certainly not concerned about warranty issues at this point. especially considering they're 2nd hand
i'm currently using the Swiss-Stop Yellow pads. and they're fading rather quickly.
but are there any worries about safety issues with campagnolo carbon pads on these brake tracks?
they sure seem to last quite a long time on AC3, and non-AC3 Bora One wheels. and do a darn good job.

for what its worth, i don't ride in rain

I recently switched from Campy red pads to Swiss-Stop Yellow pads, and like the bite of the yellow pads. The Campy Red pads have so little stopping power compared to the Swiss-Stop. What do you mean by 'fade'? Wearing out too fast or a fade in stopping power?
