Review on Premium Kool Stop Bicycle Brake Pads: Unrivaled Stopping Power and Endurance by Bob Souza

****UPDATE REVIEW 8-6-2015******While driving yesterday an elderly woman turned in front of me and I was seconds from closing the driver's side of her car collide . A couple stood on the sidewalk watching what was happening and were shocked at what was about to happen. Without my new brake pads, I could have stopped long enough to avoid crashing into a car, wrecking my bike and ending up in the hospital. I didn't have the same confidence in my old pads on a bike that was 3 months old so I replaced those pads with black Kool Stops. They really made a difference as I said below in my original review. They replaced the pads that were on my bike and I can really see the difference.
