New wheels & need brake pad advice

[dekindy]

I switched from Shimano pads to Kool Stops and feel that the Kool Stops are much better. The LBS only had black ones in stock so that is what I purchased and have been using.

Now that I have my new Dura Ace 7850SL's I want to install new pads and am revisiting the brake pad decision.

Should I continue with Kook Stops? Black, salmon, or black/salmon?

Are Swiss stop pads worth the premium price? Color?

Thanks.

KS salmon. great stopping power in all conditions. very rim friendly. personally, i won't run anything else.

I've used Kool Stop pads for years and love them. The salmon pads are listed for wet weather, the black for normal conditions. IMO, the 50/50 pads are the best of both worlds.

+1 on the Kool Stop 50/50's. Metrosexual brake pads have made it to Spokane.

+2 on the 50/50.
