Anyone have experience of the swissstop black prince brake pad? Was thinking of swapping for the Enve ones currently running.

    Yes. They are really good, excellent bite with no squealing.

    No squealing, work well but not as much initial bite as the trad yellow ones - some prefer them, some don't prefer the trad yellow ones.

    Overall though, can't be faulted at all for braking performance.

    Great product works well only downside fast wear.

    You will also wear your Enve wheels badly. The Enve pads have a metallic content to conduct heat to the pad shoe whihc then acts as a heatsink.

    Black prince will stop you quicker but will wear the wheels' brake tracks.

    Why is that, are the pads more abrasive?
