Clarks or Alligator make good ones that're cheap-

Otherwise, EBC or Goodridge for pricier ones.

Is there an alternative to superstar for those of us put off by the tangobravo debacle?

I use Superstar. Current pads have lasted since about April & have included a week in Spain soing down hilly/rocky stuff, 24/12, Thetford Summer Series, Wiggle Enduro 6 + regular riding on road & off.

They are getting a bit low now though.

Only thing if you do buy them, is spend 5 mins scraping the paint of the edge of the backing plate before fitting (same as most aftermarket pads) as the extra thickness of the pain causes them to bind a bit.

Prior to the '[i]tangobravo debacle[/i]', I bought a load of superstars Kevlar pads for my Avids. They're very very good - fine in normal use but when I really haul on them, they're ferocious stoppers.
