Which brake pads?

Hi;

I am looking to replace my brake pads and would like to try Koolstop Salmon or blue Swisstop for nice grip in the wet and easyness on the alloy rim, but i am not sure which ones are compatible?
Brakes are Campagnolo Cantilever CX like here:

For the SwissStop blue BXP these RacePro look like they would fit the holders on your Campy Canti's, though I think they are for road caliper bakes, so I would email them and ask the question.

The alternative is the VikingPro GHP2 green http://www.swissstop.ch/rimbrakes/vikingpro/ghp2/

As for the Koolstop wouldn't these fit the bill or are you looking for pads to fit in the existing holders?

Thanks DJ;

Looking for inserts, but failing that, will replace the pad also. Or might have to just go with Avid Ultimate if pad supply is discontinued;

I had a look at old Campy parts catalogue and it seems that replacement part is BR-CX500
as here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Campagnolo-Spar ... B008839ZHK

I could not find any in the UK but might be able to source from Europe; coming back to Koolstop, i wonder if these would fit: http://www.koolstop.com/english/v_type.html

I don't think those koolstop V brake type pads will fit the Campy CX holders as they appear to be longer and not tear drop shaped like the genuine Camp CX pads you linked to on Amazon. If you can't source some O.E. campy pads I think you may need to replace the pad holder with the SwissStop or Koolstop CX type holder/pad.
