Reynolds Blue brake pads.

[showdown]

I've found a slight blue residue but nothing that can't be wiped off with a rag and a bit of alcohol or acetone. All pads will leave residue... it's a byproduct of the braking process and nothing to be worried about.

I use a set of Reynolds pads on my 2011 DV3K's, and another on my 2012 66's (different bikes). The only problem I had was with the 66's, they squealed. I filed them down slightly with an emory board, and adjusted them inboard, and the noise went away.

They work really well, but don't brake as well as my aluminum clinchers with Shimano pads.

Thanks for the info chaps.
