Hi,

I want to get some wet weather brake blocks for my commutter. Before everyone screams 'Kool Stops' - I need them to work with Calliper brakes, as koolstops seem mainly for V brakes......unless you know different !

    Swiss stop green flash pro. Used to use Kool stops (you can get them for callipers) but these are way better and last loads longer.

    kool stops are available for caliper brakes, the salmon ones are good in the wet

    for shimano...

    the swissstop ones usually get even better reports, cost a bit more though

    Timely post! I hit the back of a car yesterday at about 15mph after he overtook, pulled infront and jumped on the brakes to let someone out from the left, as I peeled myself off the back of his car I was wondering if anyone does a good wet brake block!

    Is there any problem with using them in the dry? ie. do they wear overly quickly etc?
