Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Some of the best canti brake pads out there. They are super long and super grabby. It's also cool that you can still get a quality product like this for old cantilever-style brakes.

The trek soho city bike stops as good (if not better) than my disc brake equipped gravel bike, just by changing the pads! This electric bike is big and heavy, so good braking performance is essential to get it to stop. They stop me speeding along down...  Read More

They are very responsive and when aligned properly to the rim they don't squeak.

Running these on a 700c bianchi bike. I'm a cheapskate who doesn't want to buy another bike any sooner than necessary. They are a little trickier to set up due to the longer length.



Cons

The image is wrong, so in my quick order i saw the threaded version (but the threaded style was selected) so the wrong part was sent. Have tried thoroughly cleaning rim surface to no effect. They squeak terribly. Would not buy again.

Quality


It's also cool that you can still get a quality product like this for old cantilever-style brakes.


After replacing the cheap black stock brakes on my bike with the salmon kool stops, i nearly went over the bars.

My bias was set with the first pair.

Price


Quiet, linear and very good stopping power for mountain road especially going down long steep mountain road at old pedro mounta...  Read More


Super bonus - the price is right.

Shipping


Came in fast these worked great on my bike.

Packaging/appearance


The packaging has a helpful diagram of the spacer combinations, so that made it easy.

Competitiveness


They work very well compared to the se stock brake pads.


I'll give them a couple more tries to break in, but back in the old days the shimano d-xt pads had insane grip right out of the box.
