Review on ๐Ÿšฒ Upgrade your Bike Braking with Kool Stop Supra 2 Brake Shoes: Threaded, Black by Payton Stovall

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works as well as Salmon on dry roads but seems to last longer

I have been using Salmon brake pads for over 2 years now but have not found any use in the rain. The black shoes are made for dry conditions and I believe they will probably last longer and retain heat better when the heat builds up or fades. So far they are doing great. They don't squeak as much as salmon but still tend to rattle a bit with my cheap aluminum wheels. After a few hard stops (often on a wooden bridge where I had to practically stop on the way down) I didn't notice any brake dust. Salmon pads accumulate a lot of rubber dust and material on the pad. The black compound appears to be more durable and heat resistant under braking. Not much mixture is transferred to the wheels. Overall: 5/5 stars.
