Quiet Brake Pads?
 

Hey, I'm sick of the pads that are on my Cannondale with Shimano RSX comps, they're really loud and scratchy, and don't seem to be able to fine tune the stopping power (it's like they're either on, and skidding, or off.. and hardly in between). So for my fixie build I want to get the right pads (for side-pulls), that are quiet in application and won't bind (this is for front wheel brakes, and I don't want to go over the bars).. I guess this depends on their tackiness? I don't mind replacing them frequently, but I'm not about to spend $50 on those cartridge ones.

Anyone have any tips or experience?

the salmon colored kool stops are what you are looking for

I thought the black Kool stops were tackier?

wow... I've never skidded my front wheel... I've also always used the generic (and OLD) pads on the brakes that reach the 700c wheels from my 27" fork.

Yes. Thread over.
