    Picked up a set in cyclesuperstore but they were campag. Brought em back to exchange and they had no SRAM / Shimano ones and a week later they've rang to tell me their suppliers cannot source then for the forseeable future.

    Anyone got a set?

    Not what you're looking for but standard pads work fine on the exalith surface. It just eats them a bit faster as the specific pads are a harder compound.

    Oh really? Is that the only difference?
    That wouldn't bother me, the exaliths last me an absolute age. They've only ever been on my Sunday best bike but I'm talking lasting like 5 years!

    Yeah mine lasted donkeys also but didn't bother getting exalith pads as replacements, I recall looking into it at the time and it seems that the only difference is the compound. I just used a pair of swissStop pads I had and if anything the breaking felt better.
