I think the original brake pads are still on the bike.  Gonna replace the pads tomorrow and was wondering if I should use OEM pads or use some other brand.  I really "hate" cleaning up brake dust off the rims.  Anyone have any suggestions for me?  The rotors don't look too healthy with wear grooves in them "butt" they are gonna have to do.  I'll mic them to make sure they are in specs though.  Thanks

Use OEM pads with OEM rotors.  If you need to change the rotors you can use aftermarket pads.  Aftermarket pads will usually wear the OEM rotors prematurely.
