Brake Inserts

[jaynana]

with the weather going south i've just realised how shockingly bad my brakes are, in wet weather.

think they're best changed before i break a leg!

can i ask what road brake inserts might be good please, for alloy rims?

What holders do you have? I like Revolution Advanced Road but I think they only fit in their holders. Shimano's offering for their 105 holders don't seem very good (pads too hard, pick up junk). Koolstop Salmon seem to get a lot of praise but I've not yet tried them.

I use Clarks wherever possible. Very good, and a good price too.

I use clarke's but i clean the rims and give the inserts a rub with sandpaper every week during the winter

Kool Stop Salmons - has one specially for Campy!

Koolstop or swissstop green every time.
The clarkes are ok but not as good in the wet.

SwissStop Green or Blue. Amazing performance and keep your rim wear to a minimum too.

Koolstop are good. Swissstop are even better. All my bikes have Swissstop brake pads.
