Are Kool Stop brake pads a good substitute for Shimano or SRAM brake pads?
Yes, Kool Stop brake pads are a popular and well-regarded alternative to Shimano or SRAM brake pads. KS produces a range of brake pads that are designed to offer excellent braking performance. Especially in wet or muddy conditions, and to minimize wear on rims & rotors.
Kool Stop brake pads are made with high-quality materials, including rubber compounds and metallic fibers. Which gives them superior stopping power and durability. You will also find they are easy to install and provide consistent braking performance.
Kool Stop are a brake pad specialist company. This means you will often find your Shimano or SRAM brakes perform seemingly better with KS pads. This is because unlike big suppliers who make a lot of things well, KS do brake pads only. Their focus is on having a singular type of product, and they do it will.
KS pads will often provide you with better braking modulation & a consistent performance. This is all the more obvious when you are riding in rough conditions.
At Abbotsford Cycles we stock & fit brake pads by KS in bikes everyday & know them to be a high quality alternative to stock brake pads.
