No. They will strip a painted rim. Very sticky pads.

Aren't those clear pads design for painted surfaces?

The brakes have good stopping power! But jesus christ it sounds like a train plowing through a flock of geese

Work on the angle, they are vibrating. Are they turn the right way, front facing front?

Yeah I got them on so that the arc is matching the arc of the rim. After the ride I checked them and one was loose and rotated and rubbed on the tire so that probably amplified the goose sounds lol.

I know that sound, lol. I first heard it and was like whooa. My pads were out of whack, I aligned them better and most of it goes away. Just a little stays, they are sticky pads.
