Can you use carbon pads on training wheels with alu rims ?

Can you: I'd imagine so - though you'll want to make sure they're clean when swapping back to the carbon rims.
Should you: No. You should only have carbon wheels

you can but they'll wreck your rims.
Best to get carbon specific pads but watch cause the stopping distance isn't the same with alu rims.

Sorted. Gonna get some new callipers to put the old pads in for the non carbon wheels.
Cheers all.

Would it not be easier just to change the pads instead of the whole brake caliper?
