you can use any white pads on Tuffs but those look like they'll be very hard and pants for stopping.  If you plan on riding the bike then i'd go for clear pads as they work well and don't mark the tuffs.

Or go for some Kool stop eagle 2's in white.  I think Chainreactioncycles does them for about £9 a pair.  They're the same design as the old Skyway freestyle pads (which were made by Kool stop anyways)  :daumenhoch:

i run them on one of mine and they work okay, nothing really works that well on Tuffs as we're no longer 5 stone  ;D

regards the blue ones?  if it's for a rider then you could go for the new skyway coloured pads?
