Koolstop D625 Disc Brake Pads

The Koolstop Shimano Race disc brake pads are specifically designed for road bikes. These Koolstop brake pads have an organic compound, which makes them fast and powerful brakes. Koolstop organic compound has a unique composition that lasts longer and wears down your brake disc less compared to other organic brake pads.

Explanation of Organic Compound
Organic brake pads consist of soft materials. These brake pads therefore provide excellent controllability and braking power. Due to the soft compound the pad also grips quickly. In addition, the organic compound ensures that these brake pads make little noise while driving. The disadvantage of organic brake pads is that they do not cope as well with higher temperatures that can occur during long descents. Also, organic brake pads wear faster if you ride in muddy conditions.

Note
Manufacturers use different fits. So please pay attention if the shape of the brake pad in the picture corresponds to your current brake pad. If you do not know what fitting you have, please refer to our buying guide.

User tips

Breaking in your brake pads after mounting them is essential to their performance. Once you've broken them in they will last longer, brake better and squeak less.
