I'm looking into getting so new pads for my Tektro V-brakes, honestly I see that all v-brakes are pretty much the same, except maybe weight. I've got a little life left in my current pads but wondering what would be the best pad for the buck? I'm not looking at spending a lot, because I know one day I'll be spending some money on Shimano's basic hydraulic disc brake kit.

I figured I would get whatever was cheapest or on sale.

KoolStop or Aztec both great!

I put in an order for the koolstop dual compound pads, I'll keep the old pads in the rear, because I prefer to have the rear brakes a bit weaker. Doing the same thing for my wifes bike, because the old ones don't have very good stopping power, but should be fine for rear wheel brakes.
