As above, is this the case? I looked at some campag ones and am sure they're much ticker and abit longer too? If so, seems abit of a rip off the Shimano ones.

There's a joke there about cocks but I can't think of one right now. Perhaps later when I've had mi tea
Are Campag and Shimano cartridges different? If so then it's hardly a rip off. They're just making a pad that fits. Even so, if they stop your bike then they're hardly a rip off.
Don't take this personally, but are you a real tightarse? I mean this, plus you grumbling about having to sand down pads because of rim wear indicators? If so, how large would your ideal 'Freehub: Great Value Pads' have to be?

Well I'd say Shimano users are getting done down. Campag Koolstops seem to be about twice as thick as the shimano ones. I think for once Will has a genuine gripe.
Well if you find the joke put it in the cake stop, I want a straight answer regarding the OP.
Why don't you write to Koolstop? If you do you might be able to get a good nights sleep then
If everyone decided to do things like that this forum would be dead. I'd rather try and get an answer off here than write to koolstop, wait days and days to get a reply (if every) :roll:
Is it possible that I can buy the campag cartridge and fit em to 105 brakes?
The holders are different shapes. If you could get hold of some Campag holders, they should fit the Shimano callipers. Alternatively, and cheaper, I don't see why these wouldn't fit– and there's a whole lot of pad material.

I don't think they'll fit. I once bought Campag holders and pads by mistake and they were too chunky for Shimano 6500 calipers. Also, I seem to remember that the mounting screws were too big for the slots in the Shimano. It seems that the two systems are just different shapes and sizes - I don't think it's Koolstop's fault.
I've just looked at the pic again. If they're leather mug coasters, then I have to agree, the Kool Stops are tiny.
The batteries are a good size comparison I think, everyone knows what size AA batteries are.
Sorry - I've never been very good with scale. I thought the thing top left was a bogey, and the two orange/metal tubes next to the brake pads was the Oxygen tank of the Action Man Diver.
How the **** is taking a picture having way too much time on my hands.........
Honestly, how can that be freaking hard? They look alarmingly thin and they are BRAND NEW there FFS, my OLD shimano blocks are thicker than those when I bin em..... I have seen the campag koolstops and that's why I thought wtf, because they are indeed allot smaller and was wondering if they all are, of if I've got a dud set.
They're 7 quid, I'm not about to shell out 7 quid for a pair of brake blocks when they don't even last that long, I can't just throw away money like you can :roll:

He's got a point. I suspect some sort of conspiracy.

100m Yeah right.
So has anyone else got the Shimano Kool Stop pads and are they the exact same size?

not necessarily - apparently, some AA batteries are much bigger than others....

Next house will definitely have space for a water softener.
That depends on what you've eaten. If it's a diet of chick-peas, any pads would probably look small in comparison. :shock:
Could be the angle of the camera, but they looked flat to me.
According to Wiggle, the Campag pads are 90p more expensive than the Shimano pads. :shock: So, not quite so simple, now....
Definitely way too much time on your hands. :roll: :roll:
Just buy the d*mn things, use them till they look "pretty used up", buy a new set, pitch
old set.
