V Brake Pads
NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.
I need a new set of pads for the tandem, with a total weight just over 200kg what pads do people suggest. The wheels tend to generate a lot of heat on long descents so a soft compound would probably not be adequate.
We managed to melt the glue on the tube patch descending the causeway the other night.
I have read that cool stops are pretty good, which ones?
Others?

These Jagwire pads were fairly cheap and they surprised me how well they worked on my old bike. Seemed much better than a set of Shimano pads that were twice the price.

Cool. I got some kool stops, they are pretty good in pulling up 200kg.
