You have many different kinds of pads for trials use. Which pads are softer and would work better on smooth rims. And which one would be better for traditonal trials wheel with a grind in the rim.
Also do you have any plans on acquiring the aluminum backed brake pads for trials use in v brakes?

Hi
This is really a matter of personal preference. It also depends on how deep the grind on the rim is and how frequently you're prepared to change pads. Some trials riders use our standard Black compound pads on ground rims and find they grab well and don't wear down too fast. Yellow and Orange have the best grip and shortest lifespan, with Red next. Its best to try out a few different compounds to see what works best for you.
