There is also a 'dual compound' Koolstop which is half salmon / half black. The tip at the end of the block definately scrubs a lot of gunk off the rims in the wet and they wear quite well but they didn't offer me any more stopping power in either wet or dry than the 105 blocks I replaced them with. So, if you are going to go with Koolstop, go with either the black or the salmon, don't bother with the dual compound.
