I was just reading some reviews of the shimano brake pads and everyone said they are crap, even dura-ace. So what are a good set of pads to use with Ksyriums. I have bean told that cork based pads for carbon fibre rims are good.
So speak to me OHH wise people out there in computer land.

I use campy pads but :) Kool Stop salman pads are considered some of the best pads you can buy and they are not very expensive.

Kool Stop or the new JagWire set ups. THose I have always used and now we are also using JagWire on all our replacements.

Shimano pads wear out much faster as all their parts. Plus pads cost more than their competitors.

anything that says Koolstop on the side.
Shimano pads are too hard
campy are too soft.
