I'm sure the Continentals would have been fine, but the dual compound pad combination really did it for me. Plus I don't mind properly dialing in the new pads. I've never done brake work before either, so it should prove relatively challenging and rewarding.

Hopefully the full Salmon pads brake as well as the combos. Worst case I'll put the Salmons on the rear caliper and continue to buy combo pad replacements for the front.

Good idea. Maybe I'll go back and forth a little to see how they hold up
