Swissstop Yellow King vs Black Prince
Which do you prefer and why?
According to their site Black is superior in modulation, inferior in stopping power and longevity. Personally, I care most about stopping power. Using Black Prince with BTLOS rims and, while better than my experience with previous carbon rims, I still have to think more about braking during fast descents than I do on aluminum rims. Or should I just buy Campy red instead? |

I bought lots of yellow pads for CX. They seemed to work better than the black ones.
...and like Forrest Gump says: 'and that's all I'm going to say about that.' M |

I like the yellow too. I bought a bunch of them a year or so ago for both cross and road thinking they might not be around much longer. I hope they don't age in the packaging.

I'm running Black Prince pads with BTLOS arc-grooved rims and I'm burning through them pretty quick. Granted I have a lot of steep and fast descents here, but I'm not riding the brakes down. |

I think the reason why Yellow wears faster is because they stop better.

I feel they wear about the same as black prince pads. We don't have any flat roads but also don't have many super long steep descents. I am on the brakes quite a bit on my usual routes. The wear is not alarming and get through an entire season of riding.

Do you feel like the grooved brake track helps during dry conditions or is it just helpful in wet weather conditions?

Similar to others, I used a mix of yellow/black for years....but once I tried Campy red, I have never gone back.

Anyone have a good source for Campy red pads that fit Shimano holders?

After trying Black Prince, I went to Campy red and never looked back. For me the just brake better, and last longer. I buy them at bike24.

I've ordered from Bike Inn frequently before. Always worked out but I agree the description is not always confidence inspiring. Is this what you ordered? https://www.tradeinn.com/bikeinn/en/...ts/136014880/p |
