« on: May 15, 2026, 05:00:58 PM »I’ve recently switched from COOMA pink to golds. I have a wheelset that are prone to resonant squealing and shrieking. I spent a long time swapping in different rotors and fresh pads thinkingi had contaminated the pads or that the rotor design was the issue.funny my golds on 3 bike all squeal horribly so that i will switch them out.
No, cooma ceramic pads seem to just be predisposed to squealing. Contamination? They squeal. Wet weather? Squeal. Glazed? Squeal. Wrong wheelset?Believe it or not, squeal.
Cooma pink have great durability and are a great pad if your setup tolerates their propensity to squealing (and I have a few of these) If you have any issues with squealing though, go with the golds.

I couldn't find a flaw, for me the build quality seems solid. But as im no expert and I wouldn't count too much on my judgment :-D
