  1. Is it Ritchey or Kool-Stop that makes the salmon colored brake pads that
    are supposed to stop the best (linear-pull)?

    I have a set of K-S Thinlines (salmon) on my tourer at the moment.

    K-S for overall results, definitely.

    There may be pads that have a single characteristic that gives them an
    advantage in some areas, but the K-S salmons seem best overall.

  5. Thanks. I knew it was one of the two, but forgot which (call it an
    almost senior moment, LOL).
