Brake Pad Upgrade for Tektro R520

[matty_doh]

As above really, I'm after some new pads as the stock ones are pants!

I was told to look out for SwissStop or KoolStop but I can't seem to find either to suit Tektro brakes?

Any help much appreciated!

These will do fine and for how good they are you will not find cheaper.

I had them on the back of my mountain bike and they would lock the back wheel even when caked in mud and in the dry they were ridiculous!

Aren't the Tektro pad carriers the same as Shimano/SRAM ? I had some TRP R960's & they were the same as Shimano etc. Swisstops (greens) work well but I found they didn't last very long, especially in the wet.

Much obliged gents!

I've just had a quick look at some more reviews of those Halt Gooey ones and they seem to be pretty well received so I've ordered some - I've been tight and gone for the brown ones but hey ho, no one will see them!
