Description

Kool Stop pads offer great stopping power at a reasonable price.

The Dura 2 Replacement Inserts fit pad holders on Shimano-type* caliper road brakes. This new design is slightly thicker than the original Dura pad for an extended service life. A 7.65 mm contact width offers better compatibility with smaller brake tracks. Integrated grooves help displace water and road grime and weight reducing cutouts shed excess material where it isn't needed.

Optimized for different riding conditions and rim materials

The Dura 2 Brake Pads are sold in pairs. Order two sets for a complete bike. Available in a variety of rubber compounds for various rim materials and riding conditions.

Available Rubber Compounds:

  • Black - Dry Conditions
  • Salmon - Wet Conditions
  • Triple Compound - Mixed Conditions
  • Red - Carbon Rims

*These pads are compatible with most (non-Campy) road calipers as long as the as the brakes are equipped with holders which accept replacement pads.

Salmon pads work great for mountain rides
rating

The Salmon brake pads work great on mountain rides... even in dry weather. Even though they wear faster than the black pads, the extra stopping power is welcome on technical descents.

The best choice for wet weather

I go through about one set of pads per season on each of my bikes. While the salmon pads do wear a little faster than black or dual compound, these provide the best braking, even on dry rims.

Wet weather braking power is fantastic, even with cantilevers. I have slowly moved all of my bikes to cartridge holders, which is much more economical in the long run. I keep a couple of extra sets n my toolbox so I can swap out a bike at any time.

Good Brake Pads at a Good Price

I ride 500-600 miles per month...and change brake pads twice a year regardless of wear... I think pads dry out or become glazed...and I like the modulation or feel of new pads. The Kool Stops feels softer than Shimano replacement pads...which I like...and you cannot beat the price

A must for wet weather riding
rating
by Avid Cyclist
Cycling Enthusiast

If you ride in wet weather, you need this salmon softer pad. It does make a significant difference compared to the standard stock-black (harder) pads that come on the bicycle. I run these pads year-round, and replace them more frequently because of the soft composition. But, I like the grab around the rim that the soft pads provide.

The design of Kool Stop brake inserts make it a snap to replace worn out pads. They provide good stopping power. The only negative is they seem to wear out a little fast (the orange ones more than the black pads of course - but overall they wear a little quickly).

I have been using Kool Stop Salmons for years. They are easy in the rims, work when wet or dry and last a long time.

salmon color, nice but don't seem to work as well as hoped on non-machined rims in the rain.

salmon color, nice, but don't seem to work as well as hoped on non-machined rims in the rain. I will wait to see if the new rims need more break in time. About double the force on the levers is needed on my commuting bike when it's raining. I am also wondering if their compound has changed from years ago.

Salmon pads work extremely well in various conditions, so i installed a set prior to 'Cross season. The install takes just a few minutes and the pads will last through the end of the year.

If you live anywhere as rainy as Portland OR, don't leave home without Kool stop dual color pads. The work wet or dry.

Great all-around brake pads for mixed conditions riding. Can't speak to longevity on them yet.

Braking feel is nice, smooth, and progressive, no grabby feeling, confident stopping power.

Never thought I could get excited about brake pads ...

... but I have to say, these are excellent brake pads. I was talking to a bike mechanic and he recommended them. Then I did some research online and saw that reviews were uniformly positive. My first bike ride with the pads was on a rainy day on Mt. St. Helens in Washington state. I could not believe how well the (salmon) pads worked on the steep wet roads. The pads seem to wear a bit faster than some other pads I've used but for the extra stopping power and increased safety and performance I think any slight cost differences are nothing. Now I'd feel negligent buying any other pads.

These are great replacements for DuraAce pads on my touring bike. Grip is positive and no fading even with a moderate load on a downhill. They don't wear down as fast as the Shimano pads. Also using the wet & dry pads during the rainy season. Stopping power while touringcommuting are not as demanding compared to training on my road bike so these work perfectly!
