Scrod, when it comes to brake pads, can the Kool Stop salmon pads be beat? The stock pads on both the Tektro R350 and Dia Compe BRS100 seem to suck, my mtb/commuter needs new pads, and this BD townie i've been messing around with not only sucks, but is also picking up metal bits in the pad. I think I'm going to end up ordering like 10 of these cartridges/pads with my next order.
