Cartridge pads have two distinct advantages over and above the ecological argument: they are cheaper in use, and replacing the pads does not necessitate aligning the pads anew: you just slide in new pads, and that is it (I too like Kooolstops). The one drawback is that such pads use tiny pins to fixate them. Those are hopelessly fiddly (any clever engineers listening?). For me, ease of replacement is one of those areas where Magura rim brakes win hands down. Willem
