I've got a new fork coming as the old gave up the ghost however I need long reach brakes so I'm getting the Shimano R650 brake and I'm assuming they come with brake pads as all the pictures on all the sites show them but just wanting to make sure.

I've been using Swisstop Green Pads on my other bike and I like a lot so I'll give them a chance first and if they are poor I'll change over to Swisstops. The brake pads that came with my 105 bike have been great. Much better than the ones I got with my Dura Ace so hopefully I might get something half decent0
