Good advice from K-Dogg there :)

For braking duties on aluminium clincher rims, you should consider the
Swiss Stop GHP, Green Compound brake pads - sold as a set of four.

I've tested the Green compound in wet and dry weather in the North
Carolina / Tennessee mountains.  They work extremely well when bombing
descents in pouring rain!

For Carbon Tubular rims, consider the Swiss Stop Yellow King brake pads.

I believe the lads at Chain Reaction have a set or two of the Green
compounds in stock?

Regards,

Jayson
