I was working on an old Huffy ten speed from the 1970"s. The chrome steel wheels of that era are notorious for being noisy, hard to stop, especially when damp or wet. These Kool Stop pads were a huge improvement in quieting the rims down and improving stopping power over the generic black 40 mm pads used on these types of bikes.

I replaced my old worn out center pull brake pads (on 10 speed vintage bike) with these pads. First thing I notice is they are very grippy. Good stopping power. They are a little finicky to adjust to get all the squeal out. My rear wheel still does squeal from time to time. I have to put some miles in to see how they break in. They are good pads and I would buy them again.

These brake are awesome! I have a vintage bike with original steel rims and these brake pads make a big difference on braking. I feel safer knowing I can now slow down my bike when required. I would definitely recommend this to all my friends

Replaced pads on 37 year old road bike converted into a commuter. Now stops great. Easy to install.

fit nicely on 1984 Schwinn and really stopped well. Appeared to be soft and I will wait to see pads longevity..
