Which brake blocks
New to the road bike thing and so I have lots of daft questions
I want to get some spare brake blocks for my bike, what do you find to be good
Bike is a Boardman Comp with Tektro Quartz R720 Brakes. Rims are Richey Comps.
The bike is going to be used here in North Wales for commuting + some sunday rides an maybe the odd event or three (time trial, sprint triathlon, sportive)
Any advice gratefully recieved

Green SwissStops. Use the ones you have now as spares and put the SwissStops on, they are really good. The only exception is if you have a very delicate braking surface - some alloy rims seem to produce lots of little alloy shards that embed in the brake block. If your rims are like that you may want to get a softer brake block - SwissStop do one but I forget which colour it is.0

Kook-Stop black for alu rims. Salmon I believe for wet weather.0
