My LBS guy switched me to a longer-lasting rubber compound when I wore through mine with the new Xtracycle thingy... I'd ask at the LBS.

Bicyclette, you must have been reading my mind. I planned to start a thread like this tonight, but you beat me to it!
I've heard a lot of good things about Kool Stop Salmon brake pads, especially in wet weather. I have Tektro V brakes and the amount of black brake dust from the pads that came with the bike is unbelievable. It's beyond vanity - I get black everywhere and on everything. I understand this may be typical of the stock Tektro pads. Can anyone comment on the brake pad dust levels of Kool Stop Salmons? It would be nice to find something a bit less filthy.
