I finally ordered up some Kool Stop pads from Harris Cyclery. Today was my
first ride with them. Even in the morning rain they were phenomenal.
I couldn't believe that just changing the pads would make such a big
difference but I was wrong. The Kool Stop pads really do live up to
their reputation and are just the ticket in rain country.
I put Kool Stops on a bike with steel wheels and they do seem to help,
so I am a fan.
However (maybe because of the .tech part of this newsgroups name) I
just want to point out that the only thing your experience shows is
that new Kool Stop pads work much better than god-knows-how-old (maybe
57 years old?) pads of unknown composition and origin. I don't think
this particular experience is any evidence that Kool Stops are any
better than any other new pad.
