I use Galfer standard pads.

I switched to Galfer rotors and Galfer blue pads. Love the combo.

Whatever you buy I'd recommend sticking with the organic pads because the others are very noisy in my experience.

I like Loam Goat. Been using them with Rival calipers for years.

I don’t know if they have them for road but I’m totally in love with MTX ceramic pads. They’re incredibly quiet, tons of power/modulation and they last forever like a sintered pad.

I have put them on two bikes with SRAM mtb brakes and they’re a big upgrade.

I’ve been using the SRAM semi metallic pads. Swapped out at 10,000 and the old one’s still had a tiny bit of life yet. Pads are cheap and easy to swap. As I approach another 10,000 on my main road bike there are a set of back pads in my toy room.

What kinda bike is it?
Anything that sees mixed conditions I'd go metallic, I just use the sram version and never have an issue. Might try galfer next time

Trucker Co on all my bikes once the factory pads need replacing.

Have had excellent results with pads from Discobrakes.com. Here are their options for SRAM Force.

I go through lots of pads on my mountain bikes, so I always get their multi-pack option. Be sure to select their US shop as the website defaults to the UK.

I've been very impressed by the Absolute Black Graphenpads - They're silent and have been consistent with a year of mixed-riding conditions. https://absoluteblack.cc/graphenpads...sc-35-sram-axs
