Next best thing to Swiss Stop pads?

[Gummee]

I seem to have worn out a pair of Yellow Kings and don't seem to be able to get more right this second.

What's next best?

SwissStop Black Prince.

Assuming you are using the yellow kings for carbon rims then get the black prince or the in-house option from your wheel manufacturer (Zipp, Reynolds, etc. all have their own versions).

Highly recommended. And.... you may want to stop using the Yellows altogether. (I did).

Might be stating the obvious, but they're in stock at our sponsor, Bike Tires Direct.

I have *a* pair of black kings I just put on my A bike. I ran thru my pairs of yellow kings.

...and can't get more till late Oct sometime. Hawley is out.

I haven't particularly cared for Shimano's carbon pads, but I may have to put them back on if I can't find anything else.

I've found the Swiss pads on the hard side. I've been using Reynolds blue and have yet to try their new blue pads. I whole idea is of these pads are to keep the carbon rims from overheating, so far, so good.

I always use Kool Stop pads, but I've never had carbon rims...
