I use these brake pads, and although some people say they are rubbish compared to swiss stop, I find them excellent compared to Simano pads. I canot believe they were ever £22 though, especially as you can get these brake pads from other places (amazon & ebay for about £6, but without the cables)Clarks 55mm Road Brake Pads + Free Gear Cables- £22 down to £4 at CRC- don't forget TCB although you'll need to buy a few sets to get free del.

Not much between Swiss stop and koolstop to be fair. Both excellent, and probably the pads you should chuck on your winter hack, it's in the wet that their performance excelsSwiss stop end off however decent value for chucking on a winter hack. After switching to Swiss stop I can see and feel the difference.
This appears to be for 2 sets though = 4 holders, 8 pads plus 2 cables.
Bought some as I use these and find them very good needed a couple of tubes so free postage too.Clarks 55mm Road Brake Pads + Free Gear Cables- £22 down to £4 at CRC- don't forget TCB although you'll need to buy a few sets to get free del.

Anyone with BIG feet (mine are size 14) might want to take a look at the Planet X website. They are selling Agu Enyx Xtra overshoes in size 3X for just £5.
I normally have trouble getting overshoes to fit and zip up fully, so I ordered one pair to try them out. They look quite resilient, and they are an easy fit and very comfortable. There is a delivery charge, so I've now ordered 3 more pairs @ £5 each. That should see me OK for a couple of years now. Four pairs for less than I paid for my previous pair.
