Pads for carbon rims

[TSCfree]

What pads do people recommend for carbon rims on a basalt brake track? The supplied composite pads are quite grabby and unnerving, however stopping power is good. Does anyone have any experience with cork(Zipp & Bontranger) pads? Happy to pull the lever a little harder so long as the pad has better modulation!

I run cork pads, like them much more than the SwissStop yellows which I found really grabby. Lots of modulation and no issues with stopping power in the dry, in the wet they are ok but not brilliant as you would expect. They are also really light. I use a really light sandpaper to clean then up when they glaze over

Out of stock at the moment but these are the ones I run, 4 pairs for £36

I use Reynolds blue on mine. £22 for 4 I think. They seem pretty good wet and dry.

I use Swisstop Black Prince on my Zipp 808s, I found them better all round than cork.
