Noob brakes question

Posts: 1,739
Are all road brakes standardised? Can I replace the pads on my 105s with DA, Kool, Swiss, etc without compatibility worries? Would like to improve front retardation.
Also, has anyone seen any good deals?

AND you choose pads suitable for your rim (not brillo).What do you mean you think 64cm is a big frame?0 -

Just bought some Koolstop Salmons from Wiggle for £9.
Not sure that they're reduced but they're a bargain for the price and performance.0 -

Wiggle = £22.49
PX = £18.99 + £2.50 P&P = £21.49
I'm missing something, aren't I. :?0 -
