Which brake pads for Alps?

milese

Hi,

I'm going to the Alps in July and want to get the best brake pads I can, for alloy rims.

Any recommendations?

Shimano 105 calipers.

Thanks.

SwissStop BXP - easy answer for me - superb pads

yep, I agree! (Swissstop BXP)

and at €23 a set of 4 you'll think twice before dragging the brakes down descents;)

Is this for one wheel or two?

Also, whats the difference between the FlashPro and the RacePro?

Definitely Swisstop - they are the canine's cojones. Often cheaper at http://www.bike-discount.de/shop/m528/k ... ories.html

FlashPro - Shimano / Sram version
RacePro - Campagnolo version

I use SwissStop Flash Pros. They are very good pads, excellent braking power, seem to last ages and are not wearing the rims.
