I've been running Trickstuff powerstop brake pads on my Sram Code RSC brakes but they are becoming difficult to get in a timely manner..

I'm looking for alternatives to the OEM Sram pads that offer some better stoppage....

Who is using what? happy with them??

MTX Gold have been great, some like the Red.

Very happy with MTX Gold on my Codes. Night and day improvement in noise, and in my unscientific testing seems like pretty substantial improvement in bite/power as well.

I really like the Hard Headed Ram Blue pads.

Dude where have you been getting trick stuff pads in the US? Ive been itching to try a pair of them, even if I gotta wait. Otherwise MTX pads are the go too for people wanting more power, super easy to get either at your LBS or online

I’ve had good luck with TruckerCo pads.

I was able to pair a few sets on their website before they got new owners.. I just installed my last set...

I may need to ask some family in the UK to see if they can get them locally..

thus far, they have been my favorite... they absolutely transformed the Code RSC... epic levels of modulation and a ton of stopping power with one finger ...

Is this a new company? I haven't heard of them before...

How long have you been riding their stuff??

Been running metal Cooma pads for several months now. Almost as aggressive as the Magura 8.R, but without the noise. I also have ceramics from the same brand, but have yet to try them out.

I’ve been using their brake pads for about 3 years and I also have a few 220 rotors from them that have been great. They are pretty local to me in SoCal so get them the next day.
