Yes, so you would stop & be dead.

newer skyway pads work reasonably well the long thin ones,but as most mention not much is that good.

Gnarlyscoots · « **Reply #12 on:** October 10, 2012, 06:44 PM »

I have some Kool Stop Salmon's but the Z'ds are white so wanted to try using some white pads. I know they will go black with whatever pads I use but, not as fast with white ones

Peter J · « **Reply #13 on:** October 10, 2012, 08:04 PM »

Clear ones $:-\$

They work on most rims

not johndub71 · « **Reply #14 on:** October 10, 2012, 08:33 PM »

What about the clear soft compound Odyssey pads?

I use to ride these with my yellow Z's and found them to stop me about half a mile after braking

Maybe they didn't bed in enough $:-\$ I will see if I can pick up some white ones bro and give them a go

Gnarlyscoots · « **Reply #17 on:** October 10, 2012, 10:39 PM »

Peter/John,

I didn't really want the clear ones as they interfere with GPS satellites under braking

Acs work, the vans do to and as already mentioned the clear sticky pads too.
Nothing will stop a grown man dead though. Unless you put disc brake mounts on
