Kool-Stop Dual Compound Mountain Brake Pads

The dual compound combines two different materials to give you the best of both worlds: one part of the pad provides aggressive stopping power, while the other is formulated to be gentler on your rims. This balance helps you stop reliably without wearing down your wheel surface prematurely.

Yes, these are designed specifically for linear-pull (often called V-brake) systems. As long as your bike uses a threaded post attachment, these will fit.

Installation is straightforward thanks to the threaded post design. You simply unscrew your old pads, slide the new threaded posts into the brake arms, and adjust the angle and height before tightening them down.

While these pads are excellent for general mountain biking and commuting, the dual compound is engineered to maintain consistent friction across various conditions. They perform reliably in wet weather, though they are primarily optimized for balanced, all-around performance rather than strictly mud-shedding.

This package includes two pads, which is enough to service one brake caliper—either the front or the rear. If you are replacing the pads on your entire bike, you will need to purchase two sets.
