Axis 1.0 Brake Pads and Cables
I have AXIS 1.0 Brakes which have worn out pads on them. I have been looking at Kool Stop Salmon pads which seem pretty good. Am I right in saying these will work with the AXIS brake cartridges?
Also I am wanting to change my cables. Are standard Shimano cables good enough?
While I'm on the subject of all this, I will need to replace my bar tape when I do the cables.
I have a specialized with a black frame and I think that red tape would look nice, will any cheapish tape do?

We can't have that can we. Much better to risk killing vulnerable road users. Less damage to the cars.

Yes, yes and yes
Unless the cables are really old or worn I would just regrease/oil them to keep em smooth.
Also black bar tape, red will get grimy and look cheap very quickly...also rule 8
