MTB Cantilever Bicycle Brake Pad Inserts Black

The MTB pad is a top choice for mountain bike direct pull brakes.  The curved design allows this longer more rigid pad to contour the rim for better brake performance. This is ideal for shallow rims and for easy tyre removal. The angled tip and plow make for easy toe in and clears rim debris in wet conditions.  Including a hardened and plated reinforced steel backbone

Key Features:

Hardened and plated reinforced steel backbone Patented angled tip plows mud and rain off rims Water grooves Knurl-lock™ washer system Rim friendly compounds Designed for easy tyre removal for systems with tight brake clearance Weight : ca. 38 g/pair Length: 78 mm Pad contact width: 8 mm Semi aggressive compound for good performance in all weather conditions, but designed for mainly dry conditions Made in the USA Supplied as a pair

Installation Instructions:

1. Clean rim surface before installing new pads
2. Place new Kool-Stop Pads into brake caliper arms and finger tighten nuts
3. Squeeze brake lever to allow correct pad to rim alignment; tighten the nuts.  Do not over tighten
4. Break In Pads.  Full stopping power may not develop until after several braking applications have conditioned the rim surface.  Proper "toe in" alignment prevents brake chatter
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
