kool stop pads for dual pivot caliper brakes?

Big dave 3

Hi,

I have recently obtained a Claud Butler Levante. I am used to mountain bikes with discs, so the braking feels a bit poor. I am hoping to improve this by changing the pads. I have heard that Kool stop salmon pads are good.

I have dual pivot caliper brakes but I am unsure which KOol stop salmon pad to obtain. How would I know? Can anyone give me a link to which pads I need?

You need these if the brakes are Shimano or shimano clones such as tektro:

If you have the cartrages all you need are the inserts


I rate Koolstop as the best brkes ever on a road bike.

I have used Koolstop Salmon for several years now and rate them highly but the Shimano ones in my Ultegra SL brakes are even better. It is almost too easy to lock up but the modulation is fine wet or dry.
