Any recommendations for brake pads that don't turn leave rims, pads etc covered in a grey sludge in the rain? Have been using koolstop salmon on my shimano rims but they don't seem to perform as the reviews suggest.

No pads will stop grey sludge in wet weather, it's dirt/pad/rim detritus, but as amey says swissstop bxp (blue) are the best pads.

Another vote for Swissstop BXP. I take off the wheels to make sure there’s no chunks of anything embedded (you normally hear it before you go and look anyway) and give the pads a gentle scrape with a flat fine file when doing a half decent clean of the bike or after particularly mucky ride.
