Which brake pads are the best?

[Hale_Storming]

Hey guys, I need some new brake pads but not sure which brand to go with. I like the sound of Disco Brakes but they're out of stock on the Chromatic pro and Copper-free so thought I'd ask for advise on here.... Which pads do you recommend?

I'm using Shram Code RSC.

Thanks guys!

Have always used Uberbike and no complaints.

ive found that the uberbike white ones whatever they are called offer great bang for buck and last a long time.
keep meaning to try the blue ones as they are ebike specific supposedly.
had uberbike pads on for a couple of years but tried some CL VRX pads atm, great pads but £25 a set compared to 10 or 11 quid for the uber ones. cant say that theres that much difference in them either.

I go for organic ones every time instead of the metallic ones for the simple reason that they are quieter and are good stoppers.
But who's organic pads? I keep coming back to the Shimano branded pads. I may be able to get some unbranded ones that rumour says are made in the same factory, but I can't be arsed to try them.

I'm using Shram Code RSC.

I ran Avids and then SRAMs for a lot of years. Organic OEM pads worked fine for me, but were expensive. Kool-Stop pads give the same performance, but are considerably less expensive.

Fit the original Avid/Sram 2011+ sintered pads. You get what you pay for. Properly naintained they deliver strong stopping power and long life.

I bought a mechanics box (no springs or bolts) of 30 sets of original Code RSC 2011+ sintered pads off Ebay around 10 years ago for $200. I think I am set for life as long as they keep making Code RSC brakes! Excellent brake pads that last me a season+ on the trails I ride. I would go thru organic pads in a month!

Swisstop make a specific ebike brake pad, which is a good price, lasts a long time, is quiet and stops the bike. What more do you want ?
