Had my bike in for Its 6 week check at the bike coop and the guy said the rear pads were looking fairly worn . The Brakes are Tektro TK-R340 Giant Specific, Dual Pivots , I know nothing about road bike pads . So what does the STW (Road contingent) suggest as a good replacement pad. ?

As always your advice and abuse is appreciated.

I've got some Tektro R540 on my road bike and swapped the stock pads out for Koolstop Salmon. Only a couple of rides in on them but so far very impressed.

Thanks for that Im presuming a TK-R340 is just an inferior version of your R540 brake , therefore the pads should fit my brakes. ? If so I'll order those Koolstops.
