Recommend Some Pads?

What is this?

The muck on a rim after riding and braking in the wet.....it's an Essex Thing

XLC Red/Black, done nearly 5000 miles on one set and despite almost being worn out, they still have plenty of braking power in them, I have always been lucky to get a 1000 miles out of any other set I have used before they need changing , the stopping power far exceeds any other pads I have ever used and with being a heavy rider, they are the first set of pads that I have used that will lock my wheels up if I touch the brakes too hard (not that I want that to happen too often and ruin my tyres when I slide), terrified me at first on fast decents as all my braking had to be done before bends less I lock up and the wheels slide away, and most importantly, the price is right (must have gone up a pound) especially for 4 pads and not just 2 pads like other manufacturers sell their own brand. My spares box has 4 complete sets in, just in case they go out oif production, Heaven forbid. I have even got my own LBS stocking them now. Even in the wet they still have stopping power that exceeds anything I have known before. Try them, you will not be dissapointed.

Have done 1,200 miles on best bike and no sign on the FSA pads wearing. What does that tell you!?!

Pads can last forever when they don't do much to try and stop you.

105 pads were great today, so can't wait to try the Swissstop Blue, if they're way better again.
