Great Classic Salmon Brake Pads!
An improvement over just about any OEM brake pad. One of the first things I do if I have to replace a brake set or put together a new bike is switch to the appropriate size Kool Stops. Stopping power is significantly improved. The rims stay cleaner (no build up from the worn pad) and don’t get chewed up. They are pretty much silent once set up correctly. Couple of minor points: If you’ve had other break pads on your rims before they must be super clean when you switch to these–any remaining build up from your old pads will cause squealing. They are already shaped to create toe in, you don’t need to angle the shoes much. Finally, they do tend to squeal a bit until they get “broken in” and conform to your rims. I find that one longish descent during which I feather the brakes on and off usually takes care of it. FYI, these fit a more brakes than Dura-Ace and Ultegra. I’m currently using them on Tektro 720 (2013 model) canti brakes and they have transformed them.

Perfect brakes, will order again.
Bought these brakes for my road bike, after the old ones had been destroyed by the previous owner. Not only do these do the job in normal weather, they far exceed expectations for wet weather as well.They are extremely easy to install, by removing a single screw and switching the old with the new. There’s no way to mix up the direction, as the screw can only fit in one side.I went from rims that were getting scratched up and weathered-looking, to clean, skid free rims with extraordinary brakes.I Highly reccommend these brakes to anyone considering buying high end replacements. The utility with these things far exceeds the low price that is offered.I did not receive a discount on this item, and am writing an honest and unbiased review for other people.

Pretty damn good replacements for stock Shimanos
It’s hard to beat the real Shimano stuff and frankly – stopping-wise – I’m not sure if the differing design of the ridges on these versus what comes on the stock Shinanos is helping me to stop any faster. But there does seem to be an increase in performance when wet and they certainly work as well as the Shimanos but are cheaper yet seem to have some great ratings and durability. I’ve had them on for a season now with no appreciable wear over what is normal for, say, Shimanos.Of course they install just like any other brake pads, and have no weirdness or anything special needed to get them aligned correctly. They have a bit of a taper which would seem to be a great design for more stopping power.Are they better than Shimanos? Likely at least for certain conditions, as above. Get ‘em, you won’t regret it.

Better stopping performance than the stock pads
I got a new to me used road bike and wanted to make some minor upgrades. It was suggested to me that I get salmon Kool Stop brake pads as they stop better in wet conditions. As soon as I got them on I noticed a difference, even in completely dry conditions. These pads are awesome.

All weather
good all-weather performance, but squeegee feature wears off quickly but while it is there, it helps remove water and grit to protect rim and enhance wet braking.

One of the best
My first time buying these was about 13 years ago, even back then they were pretty much the gold standard in rim brake pads. Little has changed in the intervening years, they still produce a great brake pad, I just recently bought a couple more sets, for my partner’s new bike and my existing bike. They’re easy to install, they’re quiet, and the price is great.
