Sports reviews of Kool Stop MTB Mountain Bicycle Brake Shoes
Customer Review: I wont need disc brakes now!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
My bike came with 'cheepo' Tektro V-Brakes and the pads wore out in one month of wet riding. I got these pads for the front wheel, in dual compound, and have ridden all summer in wet grass, muddy trails, and rainy commutes and they work consistently, no matter what condition. I've noticed much more braking power compared to the stock pads, and my tires usually run out of traction before my brakes start to fade. They also don't mar you're rims and tires with black stuff - none at all. No more brake grinding and rim wear either, just strong, smooth, clean braking all the time.
The only problems I've had are; my fork/wheels are very low-end, so occasionally, under hard braking the brakes shutter a little, making the front end shake. Also have occasional brake squeal, neither of these problems affects braking at all.
These pads do change the handling on the bike, have occasionally been tricky to use when I was getting used to them. They have tremendous braking power in the wet, and during straight line braking, on wet streets; I've locked up the front wheel and nearly crashed, but luckily was able to release the brakes and regain control, before I rode through a busy intersection. I've also slid out the front end going diagonally down a slightly wet grass hill when I foolishly grabbed the brakes hard.
Bottom line these are an exceptional product, and if you're considering upgrading to disc brakes, for the added power, modulation and wet performance, do try these pads first, they will change you're mind.
