where did you get those size options from?

Anyhow if you have standard type road caliper brake they should have pads with a replaceable insert..

if so 99% it will be shimano pattern. so get these:

expensive, but they last ages, work well in the wet and dry, stop that black dust and are kind to you rims.

On this page I can see 3 or 4 different sizes. They are just standard replaceable inserts..
