Hi all disappointed in the stopping power of my emonda sl6 Pro (not sure what pads it has in) what would you recommend that will fit in the Bontrager callipers. Thanks

    What's the recommendation from the wheel manufacturer? For Mavic carbon wheels I use Swiss Stop Yellow King Flash Pro, but other wheels work better with other pad types. I'm more than happy with the braking effect in the wet though.

    I ride a bike. Doesn't make me green or a tree hugger. I drive a car too.

    either swisstop black prince (will leave no residue unlike yellow king sometimes) or Zipp platinum pro evo. I use both on zipp wheels. The black prince are a bit harder/last longer I think. Both are expensive but can be bought for £30 for 4.

    black prince aren't as good as yellow tbh.

    blue lifeline from wiggle are mega and cost a tenner for four - very recommended by lots of people on here.

    The red Campag/Fulcrum pads are great. Available in Shimano fit too. They were often used by Shimano-sponsored teams on the quiet.

    The wiggle ones in my experience are as good as the more expensive pads. I find they wear a bit quicker but they're still far more economical than other options. Buy a couple of packs when you make an order:
