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

Wet weather pads

Currently using a 6700 setup with Swissstop green pads on RS20's, which are good in the dry, but not in the wet (massive increase in stopping distance), any suggestion to alternative pads which do work in the wet? T

Thanks

Thank you for that image. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to claw my eyes out.

I'm on my second set of Kool-Stop Salmons - they're a revelation compared to the stock 6600 pads, especially if you combine them with high-end housing like Nokon.
