So I just had my Omega X's installed on my bike and I love them; they are fantastic. With that said, my LBS told me that the pads (which are the bontrager cork variety for my Aoelus TLR's) were a pain in the ass to get installed; I was basically told to leave them and just train on my race wheels.

I'd rather not do that, so I wanted to ask the question here. Is there a difference in pads intended for Shimano, SRAM, etc? How are others handling this situation? Is there something else I should be buying?

Thanks for insight you all might have.
