SwissStop FlashPro BXP Brake Pads - Set of 4

These brake blocks stop you in the dry and the wet. They are the kindest to wheel rims that I have used (and I've ground out a lot of rims). Buy these.

Swapped out the original Brompton ones to these. Just to make sure, at first, lets say week, I was dissapointed. They didn't grab that well. It's like new car tyres and brake pads. They need to set in. Now after about 2 years of almost daily use I bought another spare set. They are that good! Much less grime on the rim when it is wet. Stopping power in all conditions from -20C to +40C, snow, ice, rain .. it will slow you down in a confident way. A bit more expensive but my and others safety is worth the price, no doubt about that one.

車両入替で、ブレーキの移植をしましたが、電解酸化処理されたザラザラリムのせいで、これまで使っていたシマノシューでは全く効きません。シューの硬化が原因でしょうが、失敗はしたくないのでカーボンリム用で気に入って使っているスイスストップを選びました。納得の効きとコントロール性、チラッと見える青紫のシューに白のロゴがクールです！価格はBBBの2倍、シマノの3倍しますが、距離乗らないし、たった2〜3千円の差、上手い酒を選ぶのと同じです。良いものを作り続ける会社に感謝しつつ愉しませて頂きます。

I was finally able to put these pads on my brakes and they are a godsend compared to standard or low-end brake pads. Compared to my previous standard pads, these offer immensely more stopping power. When lightly contacting the rim, the pads have great modulation for when you need to shave off a bit of speed going into a turn or when you're steadily coming to a stop. From this, I am confident that these will stop you and your bike quickly in an emergency situation if you really pull the brakes. It's hard to describe how good these pads are, but my bike felt completely different (in a good way) after putting these pads on it. My only gripe with these brake pads are the screws that came with them. Terrible! They had blue lock-tight on them and required 2mm allens. Three of the four screws rounded off and I had to yank them out with pliers. I removed the last screw with lock-tight and just cleaned the old screws to use with the brake shoes. If you are going to use these screws, I recommend cleaning off any lock-tight on the threads or using new screws from the local hardware store with at least 2.5mm allen or anything better (i.e. Phillips head, Torx head)

SwissStop blue are the best brake blocks I've found for alloy rims - stop well, yet don't wear the rim out really quickly. Even work in the wet (though obviously not as well). Easy to install and reasonable price for their use.
