Brake pads?

kayo74

Looking at replacing my first set of brake pads since buying my bike. Looking at advice on a good set to buy?. They will be running on Shimano Ultegra brakes.

Many thanks.

Swiss Stop pads generally pretty good, as here:

But Shimano ones usually ok if you get the better ones, Dura Ace or Ultegra...

+1 for Swiss Stop - they might seem a little expensive, but brakes and tires are the most important bits of your bike so spend wisely.

+1 for Swiss Stop for me as well.
Both the Swiss Stop and Kool Stop are much better than the standard pads, but I favour the Swiss.

And remember when you see the more expensive price of the SwissStop, that's for 4 pads

Ive got a set of clarks 55mm multi compound pads, and rate them A+. 8.99 for a pair with a set of replacement pads.

Have them on my summer bike, and have just put them on my winter bike. Ace brake pads.
