Road Bike Brake Pads

[Jarod]

What sort of pads do you use on your road bike?

I'm in the market to get new ones for the Salsa and I wouldn't mind a bit better braking performance. Oh, and something that creates less brake dust.

My limited understanding of physics and energy transfer tells me wanting performance with less brake dust is an oxymoron, but feel free to tell me I'm wrong.

You've got the soft tires on it!

Are the Swiss stops the yellow brakepads on wiggle? If so get them for the colour!

Kool Stop salmon pads. I like them more than the stock Dura Ace pads.

ST yellow is for carbon.

I also use kool stop yellows. They're like $9 online and super good. I think green ones (for ceramic coated rims) are somewhere inbetween black (regular) and Salmon (soft/wet).
