So looking on the Cooma store page, and their pink pads, which model do I need for my Shimano ultegra and 105 disk brakes (link please). Would love to give these a go.

I was a long fan of the pink Cooma, I switched to the orange Kingstop on all my bikes

They may wear a little faster, but are way more silent and provide a softer with more modulation grip

I tried pink cooma and after a couple of decent rides they were glazed and useless. The slightest amount of moisture and they would howl loudly. I donated a big bag of them to the local community bike shop. I don't understand why they are so popular aside from price.

I'm not that particular about modulation or wear. I just want them to stop and be reliably silent in mixed conditions.

I will try some Kingstop next.

What about the black Cooma Resin Semi-metallic, Sport EX?

I tried the pink and silver Cooma. Both do eventually stop my bike. But all in all I found them extremely underwhelming on both my gravel bike and my road bike. Not even remotely as good as the stock pads that came with my Sram Rival calipers.

I tried some orange kingstop after reading the reviews here. Started off OK, but they fade pretty quickly and don’t offer much in the way of bite. Back to SRAM semi metallic which are much much better feeling.

For me Cooma Pink fade also pretty quickly on GRX. Any better recommendations?
 Kingstop or is it not better in that regard?
Cooma Gold? Any other brands?
