Kool-Stop Mountain Brake Pads – Dual Compound – Offset Post – 78mm (Pair)

These Kool-Stop Mountain brake pads are built for consistent rim braking on mountain and trail bikes where control matters more than outright softness. The thinner, longer, and more rigid pad design increases contact stability and helps deliver predictable braking across changing conditions.

Compared to shorter or softer pads, this design maintains better alignment under load and sheds water more effectively. The dual compound balances power and modulation, making it a dependable option for mixed terrain and variable weather.

Key Features

• Dual compound braking surface for balanced power and control

• Thinner, longer, and more rigid pad body for stable rim contact

• Hardened and plated reinforced steel backbone

• Water grooves to maintain braking performance in wet conditions

• Angled plow tip to help clear debris and assist with proper toe-in setup

Compatibility & Use Notes

• Designed for rim brake systems

• Offset post orientation

• Pad length: 78mm

• Sold as one pair (two pads)

• Intended for mountain bikes and similar rim brake applications

Service / Ownership Context
Correct toe-in and alignment are important with longer pads to prevent noise and uneven wear. Periodic inspection for rim debris and pad wear will help maintain consistent braking, especially when riding in wet or muddy conditions.
