Kool Stop Continental Pads for Steel Rims

These are really good pads designed specifically for older brakes. Many new pads, especially cartridge ones, don't fit well on older caliper brakes. If you have an older bike and want to upgrade it with better braking, but don't want to buy new brakes and wheels, this is the best thing you can do.

Kool Stop salmon compound works really well on steel or aluminum rims.

Kool Stop says this:

• Breathe new life into that older bike with a set of brake pads that actually slow you down safely
• The Continental Koolstop’s classic conventional design, for use on older bicycles or brake systems with clearance problems
• Great for city bikes with compound optimized for use with older steel rims
• Pad Features: internal backbone, Nyloc retaining nut, thicker pad
