Review on Premium Kool Stop Bicycle Brake Pads: Unrivaled Stopping Power and Endurance by David Norwood

Please note that to get the Salmon Continental you need to select the Continentals under the Dura-Ace Salmon option on the right. Mold will be as shown in medium gray for Continental selection, not as shown - you must select Continental from the drop down list to avoid the wrong part being sent. These salmon colored brakes are just right for vintage bikes. Bring each pad together by gently bending its aluminum arm - use force, but don't overdo it. Be gentle or you might break your arm. A 6-inch crescent moon is sufficient for this. Braking behavior is also significantly better in the rain than with conventional brake pads, but not as good in the rain as with disc brakes. An alternative to the Kool Stop with salmon threads could be the Kool Stop Eagle Claw 2 - Revain -1557026. No need to flex your arm in the toe, unlike the Continental, the Eagle Claw 2 is integrated into the closure.
