Title: Swissstop Blue pads no longer made?
Post by: rualexander on February 09, 2018, 10:19:52 pm

Just noticed a post on the CTC forum that mentioned Swissstop Blue pads for V brakes are no longer being made.
Had a look on the Swissstop website and I couldn't see them anywhere so looks like those who use CSS rims will be limited to Koolstop CSS pads from now on once stocks run out.

I'm not sure it's the same blue pads.  The CSS ones haven't been listed on there any time I've looked, the BXP blue seems to be just another compound for alloy rims.
But - I have three CSS wheels, once they've worn smooth (One set of pads) they work at least as well with any standard pad.
