Depends on your budget but I'd go for Swisstop Green pads or Koolstop Salmons (that's if they're for a road bike)

I kind of posted because I'd never heard of the brand before, and wondered if anyone ever got into work on a soaking wet morning declaring 'Ooh, my gusset incontinence pads were working overtime this morning, I can tell you etc etc etc', but I was in the market for some brake pads, looked at the Swisstops but a bit pricey, so went for some BBS Tristops as recommended on another thread - two pairs for a tenner.
I also got myself a case of these.

I thought that was a joke link then. What a mad name for a product!On topic though, I use koolstops on the roadie and the CX with huge success.
Don't bother, I was sadly seduced by the name more than anything and foolishly put a full set on my cross bike. At first I thought they were just poor whilst bedding in but even after a dozen rides they were no better, I even refaced them with sandpaper but in the end in just binned them! I happened to be in go outdoors and saw some cheapies which were only £7 per set so I thought what the heck I will give em a try, so far they are performing quite well and the bonus being they come with a spare set of replacement pads.
