Wondering if anyone knows how these brakes preform?

Will go perfect with the Boardman, but dont want them to be rubbish. Will be used for dry use only.

Cheers guys

    I have put a set of Gooey Pads on: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=45697

    The seem pretty good to me. I have white on my boardman, but they come in yellow

    Just a thought, but are those actually Shimano pads. They may be made to fit DA brakes
    but I'm betting they are not by Shimano. Not that that is good or bad but I'm thinking that I've never seen yellow Shimano brand brakes. Could be wrong though.

    No, they are not made by shimano, but are to fit DA/Ultegra brake shoes

    Yeh - bought some of their pads (red) for my winter trainer. Nowhere near as good as Kool Stop or Shimano, but did me for the winter. Last about half the life of Shimano pads. Not so hot on fast descents and wouldn't use them for spring or summer.

    Try some Swisstop pads RACE (yellow) they will look surberb on that limited edition boardman of yours with all the yellow bling. 8)
