I'm not terribly impressed with the performance of the white tuff pad copies I've currently got on my rider.........

So sticking with a white theme...........

Firstly which of these do you reckon will perform best on powdered rims, which do you reckon will be kindest to powdered rims and finally......

Will they all fit a set of 901's happily ?

Here's the short list of white pads :

out of those three I would go for the Eagle 2's

Eagle 2s.I`m running the topones on alloy rims with a machined sidewall & they`re brilliant.

The eagle 2's then - Really ?

I had them last on my list for stopping power

For looks though I had them as first on the list as they looked just like freestyle tuff pads (which kool stop made for skyway BITD ? ) so I took them as a bit of an "old design" and not necessarily "the best" function-wise $:-\$

I actually thought the gooey pads would be the best "stopping power" wise but was unsure if they would fit a 901 correctly and obviously they look a bit "new-school" for an OS rider

Any more thoughts on any of these pads ?
