Best pads on the market
Pros: High Quality
"Bought these pads especially for my new Roubaix, which i would be using on a few challenging summer sportives & in the Alps.
Used properly for the first time recently on this years Fred Whitton Challenge (112 miles, 3,900 metres climbing) & they were really tested to the extreme with my Dura Ace clinchers. Some of the descents on this ride were crazy steep & very dangerous, so good brakes essential. I am gald i put these pads onto my brakes!!! They performed brilliantly. On some descents i was on ther brakes almost the whole time & these pads held their own & performed under stress when i most demanded it. It was good to know in my head that i had a solid pair of brake pads that would stand up to the test, which meant i could descent with complete confidence.
Not much waer yet, but when i need to i will purchase a new pair without hesitation."

Stopping power
Pros: High Quality, Good Fit, effective
"Swissstop pads are at the higher end of the price range for pads but they are worth the extra. I found them easy to insert into my SRAM Apex carriers although the retaining grub screw has a different Allen key hole from most other pads I have used.
The important thing is that they really work well. Even in the foulest wet cycling conditions (fast road bike) they provided powerful and reassuring stopping power. Concerns about whether you would actually stop at all at the bottom of a North Downs descent have been banished.

A great pair of brake pads
Pros: Great Value, High Quality, Good Fit
"Got these pads for my bike. They fit nicely with EE Cycles brake set. The stopping power with my Ksyrium aluminium wheels is superb. The price is very reasonable. Suggest for anyone searching for a good pair of brake pads."

Good allround pads
Pros: Comfortable, High Quality, Good Fit
"Good allround pads. Used on American Classic 420 rims which are famous for their poor braking surface and soft aluminium rims.
Perfromed much better than Koolstop salmon pads"

Great pads for expensive rims
Pros: Durable, High Quality, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive
"Swissstop Flash Pro Black
I have a pair of Mavic Kysirium SL wheels and love them to bits. However the wheels need a re build every 2 years due to hard ultegra pads and harsh road conditions, especially in the winter months.
I am hopeful that with a softer compound these pads although more expensive will help increase the rim life!

These Work Well
Pros: High Quality
"Have only used these for a short time but so far very impressed. Produce strong, smooth and quiet braking. I use them on Easton EA70 aluminium rims. The braking track on these wheels is narrower than other wheels and so I had to remove a small ammount of the pad for a good fit. But that's a problem with the wheel not the pads."

If you buy SRAM Red you either
Pros: Durable, Great Value, High Quality, Good Fit, half the price
"With top of the range components you need to maintain top of the road replacements - slightly lower on stopping than their more expensive Shram rubbers and half the price withe no sqeal and no abrasion to the expensive Fulcrun Racing One rims - its got to be a good buy."

Great braking
Pros: High Quality
Cons: Expensive
"These pads provide superb braking on aluminium rims. No sound at all when braking and amazing stopping power.
They are expensive, but if you do any kind of decent descents, the confidence these give you is well worth it."
