Yellow Swissstop brake pads

The yellow brake pads are the best option for carbon tubular wheels, earning 5 out of 5 stars in a Cyclingnews review. All of the carbon rims available from Boyd Cycling require the use of carbon specific brake pads. Swissstop is the pad we are recommending for our tubular wheels, it offers a very smooth braking performance, much better braking in the wet conditions than any other pad. Orders include 4 pads to outfit your entire bike.

Note that we are NOT recommending the Swissstop pads for the carbon clincher wheels. For the carbon clincher wheels, we are supplying free brake pads. These are made by the rim manufacturer in unison to work with that rim to dissipate against heat build up better.
