are disc brake pads pretty much interchangeable? i.e. do I need specific ones for my hopes, or will most replacent pads at my LBS work?

I think you need specific Hope pads.

I think you need specific Hope pads.

although different manufacturers may make pads for them. For example, Aztec makes pads for Avid mechanicals, but they suck ass. I only use Avid pads for my Avid brakes. They cost a little more but they don't suck.

Raised ink cards for added grippyness.

Just make shure that for some freak reason the brakes don't reach 451 F.
