Auf Kohlefaserfelgen geht unserer Meinung nach derzeit kein Weg an Swissstops
Yellow King Mischung vorbei. Im direkten Vergleich zu Corimas Korkbelägen (in
den Anfangszeiten der Kohlefaserfelgen die einzige Möglichkeit den extrem
Verschleiß der Beläge auf solchen Felgen in Grenzen zu halten) sorgt die
Schweizer Mischung stets für ausreichende Bremswirkung, was man von Korkbelägen
im Allgemeinen – gerade bei nassen Bedingungen – nicht behaupten kann. Die
extrem geringe Bremswirkung bei solchen Verhältnissen kann so manches Mal zu
einer heiklen Situation führen! Die Yellow King Beläge finden den richtigen
Mittelweg zwischen ausreichender Haltbarkeit auf der Einen, maximaler
Verzögerung unter trockenen und nassen Bedingungen auf der anderen Seite

Swiss Stop Yellow King brake pads – do these
come in bulk?

hey don’t look
like much

Road brake pads generally aren’t given much
thought, but the ability to stop or scrub off speed effectively is arguably one
of the most critical features regarding a bike’s overall performance (or, at the
very least, safety). The growing popularity of carbon-rimmed wheelsets has only
served to highlight that fact, as stock brake pads are often woefully inadequate
for the job; in the worst cases, they can be downright dangerous, and
unfortunately, even many ‚carbon-specific‘ pads leave much room for
improvement.

Swiss Stop bills its Yellow King compound as the
ultimate carbon-specific rim, and apparently its brake pad chemists have cut
some sort of deal with creatures from the underworld as we’ll be damned if we
have any evidence to refute that claim. Braking on each of our carbon testers
(we sampled four from four different manufacturers) was simply eye-opening as it
was the first time we’d experienced braking quality that good on the stuff, wet
or dry.

Well, maybe that’s not entirely true? now that
we think about it, we had a similar experience while sampling Mavic’s new Cosmic Carbone Ultimate
wheelset matched with its
carbon-specific pads. At the time, we said the braking characteristics were
„predictable, quiet, and most importantly, quite powerful.“ As it turns out,
though, those carbon-specific pads are actually made for Mavic by Swiss Stop and
are nearly identical to the Yellow King compound so apparently we shouldn’t be
surprised.

What did come as a surprise, however, was the
Yellow King’s braking quality on standard aluminum rims. While not the best we’d
experienced, they were certainly still quite good and would more than suffice
for racers who train on aluminum but race on carbon (kiss those last-minute
brake pads swaps goodbye).

Cyclocross racers in particular will be thrilled
to know that Swiss Stop also offers the Yellow King compound in both a straight
post and cartridge insert for threaded carriers for use with cantilevers (kiss
those uncontrollable slides into the barriers goodbye). As icing on the cake
(mmm? cake), just about anyone will appreciate the fact that our test pads have
worn surprisingly well, too.

It’s rather rare that we’ll gush so lovingly on
a product, but the accolades are well deserved in this case. Dare we say that
it’s unlikely that you’ll find us using another brake pad on a carbon-equipped
tester anytime soon as long as we have some say in the matter.

Price: US$41.60 (Flash Yellow King for
Shimano/SRAM, set of four); US$62.40 (Race2000 Yellow King for Campagnolo, set
of four)
Pros: Superb braking performance on carbon rims in all
conditions coupled with excellent performance on standard aluminum, very good
wear characteristics
Cons: expensive, but well worth the
price
