I like the Hylex RS brakes a lot, but I think the pads could be better. For the life of me, I can't figure out which replacement pads made by other manufacturers are compatible with these brakes. I know there are some, but the internets are being unhelpful. Anybody out there happen to know this?
For reference, the stock pads are these: https://trpcycling.com/product/hylex-rs-flat-mount-sintered-metallic-pads/

I've been more than happy with the 15E pads on HY/RD brakes.

I had my Spyre pads out (have Spyres on another bike) and they're definitely bigger than the Hylex RS pads.You're correct, they might be different. I couldn't find anything definitive on either the TRP or Swissstop sites. However Swissstop does provide full-scale drawings which you could use for comparison.
