Installing the brake pads on campy bike

Because of economizing on brake pads (I lost the two pads before - wrong installation?) I used SRAM swiss stop which may be too hard on the carbon rim.  Result - ruined rims at the back wheel - Bora

It costs me a fortune to have the carbon repair.  According the shop, there were 3 places were the wheelset was crooked.   (Result of the MC collision at Mabalacat last year)

This post inquired from Sir VM this spare brake pad and he sent me two sets (of 4 pads each) and this must cost a fortune.   

This post finished the installation under two hours.     VM warned me it would take herculean effort to install this.  But I sprayed alcohol and detergent and this was no problem.   

My Campy Ultra Bora 2 was injured by wrong brake pads; have to have the right expensive pads

Kapadyak beware.  Be sure you get the right brake pads for your rim brake in your carbon fiber wheel set rig.   

The compound I used was a sram pad, it was hard, and did not take pity on the rim;   The experience left  deep gouge on the rim.  I sent it to a carbon fiber shop, at Morong Rizal,  It took them days to do this plus a hefty charge.

It will be taken by one of our staffers, and tomorrow, I will get from my brother the correct, albeit, expensive pads.    (The repair and brake pads cost the same -  not good during time of pandemic)
