Scott Matthauser brake pads get my vote. The pads fit the Campagnolo holders. There were other good pads, such as Kool-Stop, but IIRC they didn't fit the Campagnolo holder. Lou Deeter, Orlando FL

Having switched recently to Campy NR brakes from a competitor's set, I must confess to being seriously underwhelmed by their braking performance.

I figure it must be the rubber used in the pads.

What was the best alternative to the original pads, back in the good old days?

Mathauser? Kool-Stop?
