    Wow, these are amazing. I have an e-bike that's pretty heavy and my regular v-brakes weren't quite as responsive as I liked for my comfort level. I had already tried disk brakes and they were only so-so in my opinion and definitely NOT worth the money, complexity, and extra weight. I decided to give these a try and I am extremely happy I did. They have superb stopping power and modulation with my Avid Single Digit 7 brakes and Speed Dial levers. Way better than a regular v-brake. The pads are a lot thicker than a regular v-brake so I had to let out my brake cable where it bolts onto the brake arm an extra inch or so - luckily I had enough cable left to just lock back in with a little left over. SO be aware there is a possibility you may need a new brake cable if yours are not long enough to accommodate this extra length required. Even that is not a big deal since you can get a good cable for $5 or so and the superior performance of this brake (the BEST v-brake shoe I have ever found) is well worth the minor expense and effort to run a new brake cable. I am 100% happy and plan to convert 2 other bikes to these - for sure on the front wheel where it really matters most.

    Nice design, well executed, good price. Put these on the rear of my road bike, seems to match the wheel curvature reasonably well. Haven't used much, but seem to work well. The actual rubber is very, very stiff, not rubbery at all, I guess they know what they're doing. These should last a long time. Almost too big to fit in the brakes, the brakes had to be let all the way out. Recommended for anyone going down steep, long hills.

    Manages to keep stopping reliably even when wet.

    I installed these over a month ago and have put a few hundred miles of mixed surfaces on my Trek hybrid. These things provide excellent, squeal-free stopping power, are easy to install, and easily handle sand and mud from my mid-duty off-roading excursions. I highly recommend these pads and these will be my go-to pads for my next purchase.

    Awesome pads, SUPERB stopping power in all conditions, including rain. Contact Kool Stop direct if you can't find the color you want with this particular model; gold seems to be the only color sold online. They come in black, gold, red, black chrome - http://www.koolstop.com/english/tectonic.html

    I would highly recommend these pads! Installation was simple and they look pretty sweet. Been in the rain a few times and so far the wear is extremely minimal compared to stock (stock melted away after 2 rainy rides)

    By far the best rim brake pad set on the market. I have used these brake pads for years and they make a very noticeable difference in braking power, and durability. I don't use any other.

    I put a set of these on each of my bikes to increase the braking ability in the rain. They do an amazing job in the rain (and the dry) and stop like riding on a sunny day.
