I picked up some Swissstop black pads based on so many good reviews and yesterday got caught in the rain with them for the first time. I'm using them with Ultegra WH6700 wheels which have a machined braking surface. Not only were they pretty poor in the rain, but when I got home and was cleaning the bike, I noticed that the rim braking surface was completely black. I wiped them with a wet rag and found that they were completely caked with black, which I am assuming was due to the pads. By the way, these are the same pads that come srock on SRAM Force brakes, so many of you may use them.

Anyone ever have this happen? The rims are new to me also, but I never saw this before with DA pads on Mavic OpenPro wheels. Maybe I should have tried Kool Stop Salmon instead.....
