any of them, they all work as good as eachother.  The Radshop did their own for about a fiver which worked well when i used them, but be aware....whatever ones you go for they will squeel like a bitch  :daumenhoch:

as pickle said radshop's clear pads work a treat on tuffs
I find the squeaking saves you having to use a bell or horn to disperse a crowd when on a ride through town  :daumenhoch:

Why do all clear pads squeel like a biatch?? Surely they can figure out the right compound with technology these days  ;D

i used Asdas finest pads on the wigan ride last year and have to say they were pretty good. We did a good few miles on and off road and they performed so well i kept them on for the southport ride too.

here it is outside some random pie eaters shop.

here it is again in the back ground outside a local southport tavern.

they were still good when i did a stoppie-endo at the station for the drunken crowd  waiting to board the train ;D
