Current best brake pads for a black rim? I asked before and was told clear ones but I had some Odyssey clear ones before and they weren't amazing.
Also whats the best straddle, is it worth making one with a spoke etc? The one I have now is a bit shit, hard to get it all tight and nice feeling. I would like a quic slic but my brake won't fit it as it bolts one side rather than having a bit to sit a ball end in.

I've had good luck so far with ghost pads, but some people don't like them... Salmon Kool stops come next probably

Salmon Kool Stops without a doubt.

Get a QS and a Springfield and you will get new pads with it... will probably cost you about the same as fancy pads and a fancy straddle and you will have the benefit of a new cable...

It might depend on the finish of the rim. I have a hard anodized Hazard light and I tried clear pads as well as several red/salmon pads before ultimately finding that black slim by fours were the best choice.
