Apparently, as already pointed by
slow rollin, the pads need to be specifically rated for use with carbon. That "should" resolve the issue, however I myself cannot comment. Can you confirm?
I spent a lot of time finding the cheapest but lightest bike/frame possible, so I want to add the maximum amount of value/performance by getting CF wheels.
Yes, I used the pads recommended by the rim manufacturer. They *sort of* worked dry, but definitely weren't as good as the old pad / alloy wheel combo they replaced. I tried two other brands of CF pads, not much better. I eventually bought a disc brake bike and upgraded to CF wheels.
