Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ Kool Stop Supra 2 Linear Pull Pads Salmon Threaded Post - Enhanced SEO by Jesse Gray

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It's time to change the pads!

Maybe they replaced the original pads on my Bridgestone RB-1. The old ones were worn and glazed and my brakes squeaked and wouldn't stop like they should (ooh!). They seem to stop very well after a long drive. I had two installation issues, one of which matches what other reviews have said about dual pivot brakes (I think I have single pivot, but later models of the same type have dual pivot). I had trouble getting them into the space between the brake and rim and the release lever almost hits the nut holding the pad in place. Another problem is that the pads hit one of the solders on the front panel. Fork. I had to cut off part of the outside of the pillow to make it fit. If I replace them I can choose a shorter spacer. Installation was more difficult than I expected. It was difficult for me to keep the pads at the desired convergence while tightening the nuts. I don't ride very much in the wet but I hope they live up to their reputation for good wet braking. I deducted a star for the first two issues.
