Thats the question !...basic trek 1.2... pads are looking worse for wear after 5 years of mostly being idle. Is there a good pad thats used across the board on aluminium wheels? Cheers, Marty

These http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/ie/en/clarks-55mm-caliper-brakes-free-gear-cables/rp-prod94327

2 pairs + 2 gear cables for 15 quid is the best value ever

They work well in most conditions, not as good as Salmons in the wet though. Much better still than default black pads that come with most bikes.
