    Just invested in some carbon wheels and was wondering what the best carbon specific brake pads are?
    heard good things about the new reynolds cyro blue power pads and also swisstop blacks.

    Thoughts?

    Define what you mean by
    Define what you mean by best?

    If its stopping power, modulation, wet weather performance, than the pads that come with the USE wheels I have can not be beaten… amazing performance.

    If you are looking to match that performance with a semblance of durability, then they aren’t so good.

    I prefer the new reynolds ones on the carbon wheels I have (hed & some chinese things..)… the swisstop blacks seem to wear very fast, but definitely very good.
    Check if the manufacturer recommends a particular sort, if so, use those, otherwise the warranty will be voided. Or if you don’t care about that… then you won’t go too far wrong with the two you mention.
