Review on Enhanced Kool Stop Bicycle Disc Brake Pads - A Top Choice for Replacement by Carl Morgan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Bomb for Bomb

Coming home every day I drive down some of the steepest hills in Seattle. After some experimentation and much deliberation, I finally decided on these brakes that will save my life. I've tried regular polymer brakes and found them to be about 65% efficient. If the cooling feet have settled quickly, they are 100% effective. When I get to Lake Union, my rims feel really hot. Kool-Stops can skydive every day and laugh about it for 6 months. When they eventually weaken, they begin to fade gracefully rather than dissipate dangerously, giving you ample warning that they need changing. They actually have so much grip that I don't trust my ADD-me when riding with Kool-Stops on my front brakes. , and running Shimano resins up front to keep me from locking the front wheel after coming out of the fog of my dreams at 40mph and treating a senior/rat/squirrel/haughty hipster etc who crosses my path. If you're more neuronormal and mindful of the environment, I wholeheartedly recommend these brakes on the front or rear of any bike. When I placed an order for Shimano single-tab rectangular pads, I was never adorned with the actual image of the actual final. Goods (which I wanted and received) from the seller. Write down the part number you need and if the part number looks correct on your final order you will receive the correct brake pads. Good sir/madam. brake dealer! - It's a huge improvement for customers if the model number is good and the picture shows "who-knows-what" brake pads ("Buy me and stop one" instead of "Drink Kool-aid").

Pros
  • Brakes
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen
