Swiss Stop Flash EVO BXP vs RacePro BXP
What's the difference between these two pads? I ride in SoCal, so usually dry, hilly conditions. Running Easton R90SL alloy rims, and I'm a lighter rider, so pad wear isn't a major concern,

While one is for Shimano (the "Flash"), and one is for Campagnolo ("Race"), the other differences is that the Evo version has a lower height profile... eg. it's good if you're trying to squeeze really wide rims between your calipers. Of course since these Evo versions are not as tall, they don't last as long -- it's like buying brake pads that have already been halfway worn down.
If you use Shimano, and have pretty standard rims, you'd want the regular Flashpro.
