Re: Is it normal for brake pads to wear out in the rain??

this was mountain biking in the rain. lots of mud and sand. my brakes
were gone after only about 30 minutes of riding on a sandy road.

not only does grit embed just like any other pad, their stopping power in
the wet is abysmal. and i mean potentially fatally abysmal.

Your experiences are greatly at odds with most others. The Kool-Stops are
consistently great pads. Virtually zero variation from batch to batch,
unlike all other pads (including Campy & Shimano) that we've tried. And if
those photos are supposed to show a bad example of embedded crud in a pad,
you ain't seen nothing.
