Tektro brake pad inserts - shimano style?

Tektro calipers - are the pad inserts shimano style?

Unknown

The Tecktro (dual pivot) ones on my Allez take Shimano cartridge inserts, I tend to use Fibrax though.

Thank you. I wanted to get kool stop salmon replacements but didn't realise that they were either shimano or campag flavour!

I changed my Tektro deep-drop pads for Swissstops with Shimano holders.

I found the Tektro blocks to possibly be the cause of heavy rim wear - Metal shavings/swarf in the blocks after each ride, increasing on wet rides.

My Swissstops also stop better - more power, yet still progressive.

Where are you buying your Koolstops? There's been another thread on these, and someone was wondering where you can purchase them.

Thanks for the hint. I may well replace the blocks on my Tektro equiped Pearson Touche.
