Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

SRAM Force brake pads or KoolStop Salmon?

I recently upgraded gruppo from tiagra to sram force and I put on the sram brake pads for now. I know the koolstop salmon's are great, but I'm wondering if there is any overall consensus on the quality of brake pads between these two and if I should put back my koolstop salmons :-).

Thanks,
-Nico

Leave the stock pads. The stock ones are actually really nice pads. Go to the salmons when it's time to change.
