[Closed] V-Brake pad recommendations

Clarkes triple compound

SwissStop green.

SwissStop green.

Cheaper is not always better- i tried some from Wilkinsons for £2.49 and they were a very hard compound and squealed like a pig.

I tend to run Shimano deore but they are about a tenner an end these days.

Halt Gooeys

Kool Stop Dual Compound or Salmon. Though not exactly cheap. I might try Discobrakes instead.

Swiss stop for me not cheap but work very well
Or genuine shimano

NOT Avid Rim Wranglers unless you want to change them before leaving for work, and before leaving after work!
