Kool Stop Pads for Campagnolo and Shimano Brakes

Kool Stop is a small American company that produces a wide range of excellent quality pads for both Campagnolo and Shimano brakes.
Kool Stop pads are well designed, precisely made and widely used by riders around the world. Not surprisingly, many of the pads sold by major brake manufacturers are actually made by Kool Stop.
Each pad has a front toe that pushes away grit and water. Any water that remains is quickly drained by two "V" shaped channels that separate the raised sections.
Kool Stop pads fit Campagnolo and Shimano holders perfectly even though they are slightly longer. The extra length and asymmetrical design reduces noise while increasing stopping power.
Zipp recently teamed up with Kool Stop to produce a high performance, black, brake pad for carbon rims. The new pad wears well, stops quickly and smoothly even when wet and comes in Campagnolo 2000 and Shimano Dura-Ace/Ultegra/105 models. They work well on Zipp, Campagnolo, Shimano, HED and most other carbon rims. You may also use them with aluminum rims.
Both the C-89 and Dura-Ace models come in four pad compositions, each designated by a specific color or color combination. Black is the standard composition and designed for dry conditions. Salmon is softer and works best in wet conditions. Dual compound, black front 1/3 and rear 2/3 in salmon is ideal for both wet and dry conditions. The dual compound offers quiet and smooth stopping and wears better than the salmon pads. Green is the hardest composition and widely used with ceramic coated rims.
Kool Stop also produces a Campy 2000 replacement pad in four compositions; black, salmon, dual compound and green.
Kool Stop C-89 pads fit:
1994 to 1999 Record brake calipers
1995 to 1999 Chorus brake calipers
1996 to 1999 Athena brake calipers
1996 to 1997 Veloce Monoplaner calipers
Year 2000 Daytona brake calipers
2001 Veloce brake calipers
Shimano Dura-Ace 7402/03 brake calipers.
Kool Stop Campy 2000 pads fit:
Year 2000 to current Record and Chorus brake calipers
Year 2001 Daytona brake calipers
Year 2002 to current Centaur brake calipers.
Kool Stop Dura-Ace pads fit:
Dura-Ace 7700 brake calipers
Ultegra 6500 brake calipers
105 5500 brake calipers.
All Kool Stop pads are sold in pairs. We found Kool Stop pads to perform better over a wider range of conditions than original equipment pads. They wear longer and are moderately priced.
Proudly made in the USA by Kool Stop.

Kool Stop Holders with Pads for Campagnolo and Shimano Brakes

Kool Stop is a small American company that produces a wide range of excellent quality pads for both Campagnolo and Shimano brakes.
Kool Stop pads are well designed, precisely made and widely used by riders around the world. Not surprisingly, many of the pads sold by major brake manufacturers are actually made by Kool Stop.
All holders are precisely manufactured from aluminum alloy. The bolts are chromed steel and polished.
Both Campagnolo models use an orbital design which allows for quick and easy toe in adjustments.
Each set of two holders comes with two salmon pads and two black/salmon dual compound pads. The dual compound pads are especially effective at reducing brake noise and increasing stopping power.
The Campy models fit all Campagnolo Dual Pivot brakes. Record and Chorus brakes can use the provided, 7.8 mm wide, allen cap nut. You will need to reuse the cap nuts that come with Daytona, Centaur, Veloce, Mirage and Athena calipers because they have a 7.0 mm brake arm slot. Record and Chorus brakes use a 7.9 mm brake arm slot.
The Kool Stop Campy C89 brake pad holder uses Kool Stop Campy C-89 or Campagnolo RE 600 replacement brake pads.
The Kool Stop Campy 2K brake pad holder uses Kool Stop Campy 2K, Campagnolo RE 700 or Campagnolo RE 701 replacement brake pads.

Ultegra 6500 brake calipers
105 5500 brake calipers
Campy Veloce and Mirage calipers that used HPB shoes
Older single pivot Campy brake calipers
and just about everything else with a 6.45 mm or larger, brake arm slot.
