people are still using these brakes on the majority of road bikes and winter bikes
But it's a declining market, people who are prepared to spend +£100 to have CSS are probably mainly the same people who are buying new winter/touring/commuting bikes with disc brakes. There's not much money for Ryde in rims for rich retrogrouches

the blue pads are just available on V brake shoes - or am I being a dork and that also means OK for Canti too?
It can be, depending on the canti itself (some have road insert).

Aha, So DP Tour seems to be the new Grizzly. DP hehe. Sexytime. Bead lips.
Interesting about the CSS now being rolled out to other rims. Hadn't spotted that. Thing is, as far as I can tell, the blue pads are just available on V brake shoes - or am I being a dork and that also means OK for Canti too? Never used V brakes... Would really like to see the Blue pads available for caliper brakes too... seems silly since people are still using these brakes on the majority of road bikes and winter bikes.
