Upgrade on these bike shoes/pads

[jahlive905]

I've got these on my beat-up single speed. I've only had them on for about four months and they've already worn thin. Probably something to do with my mostly cycling around central London and braking for traffic lights.

Anyway, does anyone have suggestions on an upgrade to these? I imagine they're pretty low end and happy to spend a little more on some pads which will last a bit longer?

Koolstop seem popular, but Ashima are an OK budget option IMO. You don't really want brake pads to last too long because that probably means they're eating your rims instead of wearing away.

I use Clarks CPS240 Gold which come with a free replacement pair for £5.49:http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/clarks-55mm-caliper-brake-shoe/rp-prod55815

My go-to brake pads are SwissStop Flash Pro BXP

+1 on these brilliant in all conditions although I use the Shimano Shoes as they were already mounted on the bike.
