Please recommend a good set of brake pads for carbon wheels.
A good friend is doing the Six Gap this September and I may do it as well and the topic of brake pads came up. I have heard about some salmon colored pads myself and he said at some point he had a set of yellow pads he liked a lot. What do you recommend? I only ride tubulars; he has a set of them and also a clincher set. Thanks!

I did not like Swiss stop yellow pads.
Do like Renolds blue. They are almost worn out, & have a set of
Token blue ones that I haven't tried yet.

Another Black Prince user. I clean mine after each ride, and getting some good mileage from a set. I have 3 sets of full carbon wheels, (one tubular) and they work great on all 3.

I've had good luck with Reynolds Cryo Blue. I think I'll try the Black Prince pads next, as many seem to like these...
