I'll have to cast my vote in favor of the landslide victory of kool stop salmon, I had a pair on my daily commuter back home and they stopped on a dime.
The first thing you do when you buy a tektro caliper is to remove and toss the inserts and replace them with koolstop salmons.

The only upstaging to kool stop salmons, I have be honest, are the swisstop yellows that came stock with my sram red brakeset on my roadie. They are so grippy on the brake surface of my s80's that I have the feeling that if I were to just crush the brifter in during a full sprint I would instantly go over the bars. But considering the price of them is nearly 5 to 1 the price of kool stop salmon inserts I'll have give the blue ribbon to the salmon pads.

this pad on any caliper will be a significant improvement in both modulation and power. highly recommended.

despite the 'wet condition' designation i currently run them on 3 of 4 road bikes (the 4th having carbon rims w/swissstop yellow), including a front-only fixed-gear, and have done so exclusively for maybe 5 years / 20k miles? they are just pad inserts, so use them with whatever caliper / pad holder you fancy.

they are extremely easy on rims, at least in my mostly dry conditions. lifespan is a bit shorter than others, but they so kick the crap out of everything else in every other way that i really don't mind.

Nice delta dookie! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who has taken mine out of the closet and into good use.

Avid BB7 stock pads. (:

Campy brakes come like this, the idea is that the rear is better for modulating speed and the front is stronger for stopping, and also single-pivot calipers are lighter.

what's that you are saying their?

kool stop salmon, eagle or fat pads
