Have some Tektro dual pivots on my SS commuter, great in the dry but awful in the wet (although the anodised braking surface may have something to do with that).
I'm looking for something grippy like koolstop Salmon - any ideas?

I default immediately to swisstop green.

Do they do versions for Tektro?

Probably, presumably they're just normal cartridge pads? In which case either replace the cartridges (IIRC tektro use shimano pattern cartridges, only campag use campag), or buy cartridges and pads.

Just to cause an argument, I use swisstop blue, but I can't remember what the difference is supposed to be, I think the swisstop site pretty much says "they're all good".

So Tektro use Shimano pattern pads?
That makes life a whole lot easier, thank you!

I have tektro pads on my commuter, which has shimano cartriges, or at least I'm 90% sure it has anyway.

Most manufacturers default to shimano pads. Koolstop salmon have been good for me on my road bike.
