My suggestion would be to source a set of silver Campagnolo skeletons from any of the lines (Potenza, Centaur, no-group Campagnolo). You can find them a few places for about $50, and of course they will include new pads. Try them with the stock pads and see what you think. I'm sure it will be more than enough for your needs.
