Eagle 2 Cantilever Bicycle Brake Pads Red

The Eagle 2 is a revolutionary pad that first utilized the hardened reinforced steel internal backbone. This larger pad is a good choice when frame, wheel and fork design allow. The full length post makes adjustments possible for all cantilever systems. The extended pad length and off centre post design provides even wear for longer life. A water groove is located below the mounting post for optimal water dispersion. The angled plow tip is featured for rain and mud removal. This also provides correct toe in during installation.  High quality post mounted pads to suit cantilevers brakes on mountain, cyclo cross and touring bikes

5. Check the pad and rim alignment after the pads are broken in and after every ride
6. Important: Do not ride the bike until the brakes are checked and functioning properly.  Designed for bicycle use only.  All Kool-Stop Pads meet or exceed C.P.S.C and D.I.N bicycle standards
