KOOLSTOP brake pads D630A organic aluminum for various Shimano brakes
The name Kool-Stop has always been associated with excellent braking performance and low wear.
Thanks to these properties, the pads from Oregon/USA are among the top aftermarket brake pads and can even increase the performance of your brakes.
The pads are made from organic materials and bonded with synthetic resin. To improve braking properties and reduce abrasion, the pads contain small amounts of metal particles. Nevertheless, the pads are largely organic, one could also say they are semi-metallic. This mixture results in optimum dry and wet braking values and also keeps disc wear to a minimum.
To further reduce weight, aluminum backing plates are used for type A pads,
However, these have a higher thermal conductivity, which can lead to premature fading of the brake under extreme loads, e.g. on long descents. These pads are therefore recommended for racing use.
