Fair enough.. Fulcrum brand red pads are out there too. Noticed that by most reviews campy/fulcrum pads are well reviewed. The Bora carbon wheelsets have been around long enough (1994) that it would make sense that Campagnolo has some history figuring these out.
OTOH, nobody likewise ever mentions Shimano carbon rim brake pads?
