  • Are swissstop green still the pad of choice for alloy rims?

  • Are swissstop green still the pad of choice for alloy rims?

    The green are designed to ensure longevity, but at a cost of wearing out the rims quicker due to the harder wearing rubber.

    Swissstop BXP (blue) is what you're looking for if you want something that comparable to Koolstop Salmon in term of performance.

    The BXP is pretty much the best you can go, last as long as standard Shimano pads, extremely powerful in both dry and wet, and almost as kind to the rims as the Koolstop Salmon.

  • I found my salmon pads weren't as effective in the dry (Australian summer dry) - koolstop black compound seemed to work better for me.
    Feels like the salmon pads like a little bit of water to work better.
