Green brake pads - SRAM vs SwissStop
I am looking to buy some replacement brake pads and I am confused by the two types of green pads from SwissStop: one is branded SRAM Green pads (darker green) made by SwissStop, and the other is banded SwissStop Green (lighter green) High Performance pads. Are they the same or different? The one from SRAM is much cheaper than the SwissStop.

The green SRAM pads are Swissstop Greens. The newer black SRAM pads are Swissstop Blacks.
Get the greens... the SRAM branded ones if they are cheaper.

you can always go with the dura-ace 7900 updated compound for about $25 on ebay for front and rear and stops as good as the swiss greens.
