I already told you numpty, use ACS Z Plus pads on alloy rims or Eagle II kool stop salmon pads.

ACS pads are super soft and grip well although wear very quickly. Salmons have something in the compound that digs into the rims to increase stopping power but as riding rice paper Weinmann rims, I wouldn't use them as your rims wouldn't last 5 minutes  :D

These ones:-

Is that like using it for a little bit and then adjusting it again afterwards?
