The kool stop salmon pads are great. They basically make 105 brakes perform as well/better than DA.
I upgrade all my bikes (Ultegra) to these, and they also help make crappy tri bike centerpull brakes reasonable.
The one thing i don’t like about kool stops is that weird lip they have, it makes the brakes feel a little spongy. I have salmons on my bike now. I haven’t tried Swiss stops yet, but those are probably my next ones once these are worn out.
There’s really no difference in braking performance between and of the shimano brakes that I’ve been able to tell, if you’re running the same pads. DA is just a little lighter and nicer finished, that’s all.
