    I use aztec pads - due to their availability, but when it gets muddy or wet, they are pants.

    Kool stop are supposed to be very good, so I would follow Super's path...

    i will look into getting some kool stop sorted, i used to use fibrax a fair while ago but on non ceramic rims with far poorer brakes so cant remember if they were up to much

    Stop you, but in a 'Kool way'

    looks like thats what i will be going for then, iv been using XTR pads this year and they have been great in the dry but like having baby oil on my rims in the wet, had some rather scary moments.........
