Kool-Stop Dura Road Brake Pads

These pads are designed to fit most Shimano and SRAM road rim brake systems. They use a standard cartridge-style holder, making them a direct replacement for most modern road calipers.

The dual compound combines a salmon-colored material for superior grip in wet, gritty conditions with a black compound optimized for smooth, predictable stopping in dry weather. This gives you consistent performance regardless of the forecast.

Yes, each package contains one pair of pads, which covers either the front or rear brake. You will need to order two pairs to outfit both the front and rear brakes of your bike.

The forged alloy holder provides significantly more rigidity than standard molded options. This stiffness ensures that the braking force is transferred directly to the rim without the holder flexing, resulting in a firmer, more responsive lever feel.

In addition to the pre-installed pads, each pair comes with an extra set of salmon-colored compound inserts. This allows you to swap in the wet-weather pads if you live in a particularly rainy climate or are heading into a season with frequent storms.
