What kool-stop duel-compound brakes for Tiagra calipers?

I've been searching the forum, and it seems that the DA kool-stop pads don't fit the tiagra calipers. If this is so, can anyone help out with a link to ones that will fit Tiagra calipers? Or give me some advice as to which ones would fit/wouldn't.

Thanks! Tom

    If you have cartridge brakes (not sure which type tiagra are) these should fit. If not you need some cartrage holders . Have a talk to cycling freinds or LBS, someone must have some old ones lying about somewhere.

    Great, cheers! I got some 105's instead, saves scouting about for holders! Thanks again.

    Chuck the 105s. honest. they're as hard as hell and will wear your rims out. Buy the coolstop pads and put them in the 105 holders. I wore out a set of Mavic cosmos rims in a season with ultegra pads . I admit I live in a hilly area but the Shimano 550 wheels I remlaced them with after swopping to coolstop pads are hardly marked after 2 years.

    Sorry to hijack thread, but is it possible to buy just the cartridges from somewhere, so that I can then get Koolstop pads?


    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.
