The old Tektro pad material was truly horrible, I'm not sure if they have improved it in the last few years, as even though I still buy Tektros I replace the pads before they even go on a bike.
I have Paul Neo-Retros (kool stop blk pads) on the Heron and CR720's with Salmon pads on the rSogn and think both work great. Can't tell much difference. The fork and stays on the rSogn seem beefier though, so that may help reduce flex during breaking. -Dave On Thursday, February 19, 2015 at 6:53:31 PM UTC-5, Deacon Patrick wrote: > > Thanks to Peter for the new to me brakes, I just replaced the Tektro > (720?) brakes (whatever was stock) on the Quickbeam with Paul Touring canti > in the rear and Neo-Retro front.
