I use the 56% off ceeway. I like it, Ive been using a bunch of life and a bit of spirit recently, fairly thin stuff, nice to keep the heat down. I only do braze ons anyway so nothing massively load bearing.

Which type of silver are people tending to use?
System 48 and Fillet Pro from Cycle Design. The System 48 flows like water and is perfect for lugs and braze-ons. Fillet Pro, as the name suggests, is great for fillet brazing with silver and for filling big gaps. It's amazingly forgiving to use, and resists overheating nearly as well as bronze filler. They're a bit Rapha - nice but pricey - but I'm really not tempted to try anything else when it comes to silver brazing.

I started with some Johnson and Matthey stuff then started getting Sif no39 from Ceeway and that's what I've used for braze ons for a while and I've built 2 lugged frames with it. Seems to do the job but I need to order some more and every time I do I think "I wonder what everyone else uses?".
