KOOL STOP
Kool Stop: Supreme Stopping Power
Since 1977, Kool Stop has been producing some of the finest bicycle brake pads on the market. Originally starting in Oregon, USA, they quickly built a global reputation for creating advanced rubber compounds that outperform factory-standard brake pads. Whether you are running classic rim brakes on a vintage commuter or modern hydraulic disc brakes, Kool Stop provides the ultimate, cost-effective upgrade to drastically improve your stopping power and modulation in all weather conditions.
The Ultimate Brake Upgrade
Most factory-fitted brake pads are made from hard compounds designed purely for longevity, often sacrificing actual stopping power and chewing up your rims in the process. Kool Stop takes a different approach. Their pads are engineered to be highly highly effective while remaining rim-friendly, significantly reducing wear on your wheels. For London commuters dealing with unpredictable weather and stop-start traffic, swapping out standard pads for Kool Stop rubber is one of the most noticeable mechanical upgrades you can make to your bike.
The Salmon Compound
Kool Stop is most famous for its legendary Salmon compound. Originally developed for extreme wet-weather conditions, these distinctive reddish-pink pads offer phenomenal grip and stopping power when it rains. We highly recommend them for winter commuting or heavy touring setups.
Workshop Installation
Proper brake setup is critical. A high-quality pad will still squeal if it isn't aligned correctly. Grant and our workshop team are experts at precisely installing and "toeing in" Kool Stop pads, ensuring a silent, powerful, and perfectly balanced braking feel.
