Anyone tried the Ashima pads ?
But I will add, regular cleaning of the rims and pads helps a lot on any brand of pads.

I've tried ashima pads out and yes they are really good,, however again it has to be said that they do not last as well as the swisstops..
I will add however I've yet to try the new pro_G ashima compound pads .. but If there other pads are anything to go by I would expect them again to wear quicker,,
I have found the dirt content here in northumberland is very harsh to not only rim brake pads , Rims and those new fangled discy pad things .. and is it... er.. Rotors ,
All the other components also get worked really to the max up here..
The dirt content is like sharp really abrasive sandy grit , sticky wet slop here,, it gets everywhere, and is a good test for any parts let alone pads,... , if they survive up here they will survive anywhere.. :shock:
Obviously there are loads of other factors to consider with wear rates , I.e rider weights, conditions , ride style etc...
But for myself , I searched and tested for years and must have honestly tried every pad on the market for V's and find , the swisstop for me the best currently available..
Yes crazy expensive for pads , but you def get what you pay for with swiss top.. ,
