Kool Stop

Dual Compound V-Type Brake Pad Inserts

Kool Stop Dual Compound V-Type Brake Pad Inserts deliver confident, reliable braking performance in all conditions—wet or dry. Designed as direct replacements for Shimano-style V-brake cartridges, these pads use Kool Stop’s signature dual-compound technology to balance power, modulation, and rim-friendly wear. Whether you’re commuting through unpredictable weather or pushing hard on weekend rides, these inserts keep stopping power consistent and predictable.

Each pad features a grooved surface for improved water displacement and Kool Stop’s patented plow tip that channels grit and moisture away from the rim for cleaner, quieter braking. The Dual Compound mix—part Salmon for wet condition bite and part Black for dry performance—offers smooth, even braking across changing terrain and conditions.

• Direct replacement for Shimano cartridge-style V-brake pads
• Dual Compound design blends all-weather control with long-lasting performance
• Patented plow tip clears water and debris for improved rim contact

Built for riders who demand dependable braking in every condition, Kool Stop Dual Compound V-Type Brake Pad Inserts strike the perfect balance between power, modulation, and durability—because stopping should feel as good as going.
