^^^^^ Kool-Stops for your Modolos.
Some of the standard Modolo composition pads work acceptably, especially after .5mm has been sanded off the faces. For some reason they don't all work the same???
I tried out a set of the Kool-Stops on the Speedy brakes on one of my bikes and there's a world of difference. $20 bucks well spent.
BTW, I sand a small amount of face material off of even new brake pads and especially old pads. Even new pads have a hard surface that takes quite a few miles to wear off.
I've found that 3M Medium Drywall Sanding Screen works well for this. I've been able to restore hard old brake blocks to usability by removing ~ 1mm off the surfaces to access the softer material below.
